Pros

- Decent pay and benefits - Amazing co-workers who actually care about what they do

Cons

Leadership, leadership, leadership. This area has ALWAYS been an absolute dumpster fire. The entire company re-orgs every 6-months. There is never any work because a roadmap can't be agreed on. Even when something seemingly comes down the pipeline, it only takes about two weeks for that to get de-prioritized. Nothing ever gets effectively communicated between teams because of the constant shake-up in management and team structure. The "OG" culture that has taken back over the last year has been a total joke. They think that they can turn the clock back and just magically fix everything by bringing "OGs" back in after canning the previous CEO, but the company is at a totally different place than it used to be. My guess is that they're finding that out as rolling layoffs continue and no roadmap is built. Seriously, really REALLY consider working here if you have an opportunity. You'll be pulling your hair out in the first 6-months.

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.
