A Once-Amazing Company Ruined by Greedy, Incompetent Leadership

Pros

There are a few incredible people still working there who haven't been laid off yet.

Cons

Where to start? The current leadership team has no business being in the cannabis industry and is only interested in short-term profits and enriching themselves at the expense of LeafLink's customers and employees alike. There is zero regard for the culture and diversity that they once paid lip service to, and it's no surprise that it's primarily white men now reaping the rewards. Other reviewers have used the sinking ship analogy to describe LeafLink's current trajectory, and it's true. It's really sad to watch what was once a pillar of the nascent cannabis industry devolve into such a blatant cash grab. CEO Artie Minson is a former AOL and WeWork executive (which should tell you everything you need to know). He's the textbook definition of a grifter.

Pros

I saw a few different "eras" of LeafLink in my 4-ish years there, and I believe all the reviews here contained a good amount of truth at the time they were written. I certainly had a wild ride at LeafLink which was fun, exciting, frustrating, and satisfying; Often times all at once! There were some pretty major issues at the leadership level which were resolved somewhat by the time I left, and I feel confident that the experience of working at LeafLink will continue to improve as more good people are hired there. The product is in a very interesting place where all it really needs to do is figure out what to do with the pretty considerable market share it already has. I saw several different strategies to become profitable in my time there and although the definitive "silver bullet" still remained elusive, I feel pretty confident that the leadership team is doing all the right things to figure that out in the coming quarters/years. If you are someone who is looking to have a big impact at a startup and isn't scared of a little chaos, it could be a really great place for you! The good things: - Great, friendly colleagues! - Tremendous opportunity to have a considerable impact on the engineering org and take ownership of products/features - Interesting insights into the cannabis industry - Supportive managers who actually care/advocate for you - Good work/life balance

Cons

The bad things: - Quite a bit of chaos! My role required me to wear many hats - exciting at times, but also could be quite frustrating - Organizational priorities tended to change frequently, but this was often necessary and I didn't necessarily disagree with the latest direction - Inconsistent quality and inflated roles were pervasive in the org when I was there - There's some rough legacy code which needs some work (but I'm not sure there are many startups that doesn't have this issue...) - Benefits package was just okay (no 401k match, moderately expensive health benefits - Base comp is competitive, but it's really all they had to offer)
