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!
