Pros

The Culture and People that work here are great. Compensation is great, and benefits are decent. IF you can make it through your first year, you'll be lucky. There are great people that will continue to drive change in the industry, but those people are not in leadership positions.

Cons

The leadership (or lack thereof) is truly sad. They fired the CEO, and the founder came barrelling back in to "save" the company.. but since then, nothing has changed. They continue to layoff and fire people indiscriminately, and some unjustifiably. If you get on the CTO's shit-list, you're guaranteed a one-way ticket to unemployment, regardless of how well you do your job. There are back office rumor mills that put people down and make working here horrible.

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.
