Pros

People on the ground level very talented Good interview process WLB is ok

Cons

Very bureaucratic, nothing huge changes and the platform is in decay. Competition is leagues ahead and employees don't like the platform, it's kind of a meme. Management doesn't do their job and is very political. Everyone there at the EM level and above is 100% toxic and is complicit in how shareholder value has tanked. Lots of casual racism and sexism in the upper echelons - beware of the inner circle culture. No opportunity for promotion, people have been there at the same level for years through management changes and forgotten completely. No interesting projects or advancement of business or engineering standards. Don't work here. No reason to at all, nothing to find or look for here. CEO and CTO were sacked among others, got a big cheque to leave and people in their place are worse. If they survive the coming years at 1$ share value it'd be a surprise, but it would be in service of enriching people who don't deserve it.

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.
