Pros

Free lunch (I think that's gone?), cannabis smoke room (really! You can be high at work! [Probably why the company is failing] But that might be gone too). No need to try since performance isn't based on production. Just become friends with higher ups and you're in. They give generous payouts and severances when they deem you irrelevant (which is based on you not being friends with the higher ups quick enough).

Cons

Nothing challenging. WM Retail is useless. WM Orders is a failure. WM anything is as useful as a rotary phone in 2020. Technology is lagging behind all other companies. Sales people are as smart as Siri. Bosses don't care about performance. Everybody is stoned and dense. No room for growth. Won't get raises for years. You might get a review, but nothing comes from it. "New talent" means they just hired their best friend or somebody knew somebody and got a job.

Pros

I have nothing but good things to say. I would have stayed in my role, but my wife got a job that required us to move.

Cons

None. The company is well on track for success.

Pros

I’ve read many of the reviews here from both current and former employees, and while I respect everyone’s individual experience, I can only speak to my own. Weedmaps is filled with incredibly smart, passionate people who genuinely care about the industry and the company’s success. It is absolutely a fast-paced and constantly evolving environment, but much of that comes with the nature of the cannabis industry itself. During my interview process, the teams were very transparent about the startup culture, the pace of change, and the level of adaptability expected. If you thrive in dynamic environments, enjoy solving problems creatively, and are comfortable moving quickly, Weedmaps can be a great place to grow. If you prefer highly structured environments with slower change, it may not be the right fit for you.

Cons

One area where I do agree with some of the feedback shared in other reviews is around company-wide communication and visibility from leadership. I would appreciate more insight into what different teams across Weedmaps are working toward, as well as a clearer understanding of the company’s long-term vision and direction. That said, I also understand that open forums can sometimes become overly focused on negativity, which can make productive communication more difficult. I’d still love to see more consistent opportunities for transparent updates and alignment across the organization.
