Pros

The industry it exists in remains strong

Cons

Everyone I respect has left this company. HR is desperate to get new talent and you can see this when 4+ current employees give us 5 stars on here on the same day. That's management driving the reviews. Teams openly talk poorly of the CEO/President in meetings and state they don't care if WeedMaps fires them anymore. Career growth has stopped and no one seems to be getting cost of living raises in recent years regardless of what was promised at hiring. I fought management for nearly a year trying to get a 2k bonus for one of my direct reports before giving up and telling my employee I appreciated the extra effort but was unable to give them a reward to show it. The CEO has no experience being an executive, the CTO is entirely uninvolved in actually directing the tech, and the COO quit to go work at a different marijuana company and was replaced by the CMO for some reason.

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.
