Pros

Uplifting Culture: The people here are kind, collaborative, and genuinely passionate about what we do. No egos, just good energy. Tech That’s Fire: Modern stack, clean codebases, and room to experiment and innovate. Engineers are trusted to do their best work. Growth Opportunities: Plenty of ways to expand your skillset or move into new roles. If you’re hungry to grow, this is fertile ground. Work-Life Balance: Leadership respects boundaries and flexibility. You’re encouraged to unplug and recharge — no burnout culture here. Blunt Communication (in the best way): Transparency from leadership and clear communication throughout the org. Meaningful Mission: It feels great to be part of a company helping shape the future of cannabis access and education.

Cons

Things move fast, which can sometimes feel like a sprint without a cooldown. You’ll need to stay agile and speak up when things get fuzzy. Still maturing in some areas (processes, documentation, long-term planning), but that’s part of the startup-to-scale-up journey. If you’re not self-motivated or can’t roll with change, the pace and ambiguity might be a challenge.

Pros

The food is included Great insurance Great coworkers Decent snacks

Cons

This place is a disgusting configuration of white bro culture. A bunch of criminally insane people run this place and have no qualms about crossing the line when it comes to firing people for racial, sexist or any random reason. The engineering team is all a bunch of a mediocre pot smoking white bros. The leadership team is the same. As a woman of color you will be lucky if you last here longer than 3 months. The CEO is a lawyer with zero tech skills but some now brown nosed his way to the top. He has created a culture of fear, back stabbing and decay. I don’t see this company lasting very long

Pros

Best Company for Engineer Managers and Engineers. Money is awesome. Work is minimal. Job security is amazing. Our leader is tight with CEO and part of the original boys club. And does Not throw out jobs from here to offshore for own commision. Product and Engg always at loggerheads and bickering but Engg overrules Product. Other departments can be fully laid off but not us. We can let go tiny part of worker bees but middle and executive Engg managers will be safe. Have seen other Dept Mgrs forever stressed, have mental health issues, constant allergies, going bald, having strokes .... But not us. Company is kind to hire and promote all poor hobos from lower strata of society. Does not matter you have unkempt hair, huge tattoos, torn old shorts, tummies hanging, b'tt crack showing, dogs sitting at your feet in workplace. Smoke rooms are provided for entire teams to sit in freely all day. Lots of snacks for when you get hungry. Get work done and then walk around flapping those flip flops, high AF. Many permanently WFH; smoke weed freely on con-calls. No requirement of corporate language or business casual. From executive management down, expletives and four letter words are "regular" communication. You have freedom to trash the Company all day long and still get raise/be promoted. You decide all tools and languages you will work in. Not sure what the complaints are about some people being laid off last month. Depending on how close to owner you were, you can get severance from 10 years pay to 2 days pay. They are being offered more severance to put good reviews so they do have that.

Cons

What cons? You get great money and benefits, are fed and kept High for free, WFH and save on gas, don't need business casual clothes or shoes, even talk like you are drunken sailors at a bar but no one judges, able to bring dogs and cats and parrots to work and play with them all day, are secure for life. I and everyone should be grateful.
