Pros

-Compensation and Benefits are great. -You will work with some great individuals who truly care about the work they are doing. -You will learn how to manage up here or be let go -The employee perks were great before they cut those. -You will learn

Cons

The upper levels of management almost all have inflated egos and do not take any ownership of their problem spaces. No matter how much proof you have or how obvious it is that a process, data point, or something is broken, nobody will lift a finger to help you because again lack of ownership. Multiple team members being asked to not speak in front of C-suite because they're looking for any mistake to fire someone and our data is so inaccurate a mistake is bound to happen.( If this doesn't sound like a red flag I have no idea what else will.) Do not challenge or correct anyone above you. You will just be put onto the list for the next round of layoffs. The business brags about "traffic" when 50% of the traffic is just purchased low grade traffic from Pornhub where Weedmaps benefits from the lubed up misclicks of users and counts them as "engaged". This is the only company I have ever seen where the quality of data actively got worse over the years and tools where we understood the error margins were swapped with new providers because senior leadership got a nice pay day for it and the new tools are not even at 10% the capability of the old tools yet we turn off the tools that work.

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.
