Pros

- relaxed environment, as you might expect - smart people to learn from - free food daily - benefits are decent - decent work-life-balance - lotta T-Shirts! - fun events - good cause, if you believe in it - good work-place perks like a gym, and my favorite--Booster fuel delivered! - exposure to lots of different projects - a healthy level of freedom when it comes to projects, thought varies

Cons

- Salary - there's definitely some cliques - no upward mobility, very little opportunity for lateral mobility too (I don't think it applies to engineering, but I could be wrong) - some people are sexist, and both female and male coworkers have noticed - lack of stability - a lot of projects get put on hold...permanently I witnessed multiple rounds of layoffs while at weedmaps some made sense others could have been avoided had they planned better. Overall, weedmaps has improved a lot from what it was 3 years ago. My advice for people considering weedmaps (especially younger people) is to get the best, reasonable offer when you start. If not in engineering, plan on only being here a couple of years at most. I wouldn't worry about cannabis "tarnishing" your resume. I had multiple offers from various industries during my time there, no problem. Read the reviews in chronological order, you'll see when the layoffs happened. There is truth in both the good and the bad. Based on my experience there and my experience at other companies, I would still recommend Weedmaps. Even with the cons listed, it's not a bad place to work and if you think it is, you ain't seen nothing!

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.
