Pros

~ More relaxed remote culture (or was, now that tides seem to be shifting and roles are moving onsite) ~ Lots of really cool, friendly people (mainly at lower ranks) ~ ReUp Fridays once a month (day off that doesn't count towards PTO) ~ Pay & benefits were some of the best I've had in my professional career ~ Worked in an industry that I was passionate about, and it was cool being a part of the cannabis roll-out across the United States and Canada ~ My immediate manager and team were great and tight, but I think my experience was more of the exception than the standard

Cons

~ Chaotic senior leadership that sets a toxic vibe all the way at the top of the company, making lower level managers and leaders have to block and shield their employees from the storms happening further up the chain of command ~ Push for onsite roles & culture shifts (HQ is located in a very high cost of living area in southern Orange County) ~ Constant layoffs & shaky employee morale ~ Incomplete tech stack, especially for Sales & Marketing ~ Seems to have a nepotism problem ~Benefits have had some recent reductions (medical insurance had some co-insurance decreases, no more snack boxes for remote workers, no more home office allowance) ~ $MAPS Stock is very low, RSUs are basically worthless if your vesting tranches happened at higher stock prices

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.
