Pros

The coworkers I've had at this company have been top-notch. Smart, driven, and extremely friendly. I consider them family and many have gone on to do amazing things elsewhere. Canopy also has some great perks like unlimited PTO and good health insurance.

Cons

Canopy's biggest problem is they constantly cut corners in order to try and make things cheaper, but in the long run it's made everything more expensive, which has resulted in mass layoffs (Ex: Hiring an inexperienced leader to save an extra $10k, resulting in major inefficiencies and poor decisions down the line). This largely comes from the CEO, who is a very down-to-earth, kind person, that doesn't know much about running a business.

Thank you for your comments. We appreciate that this is a particularly hard time and agree that Canopy’s talent, past and present, is among the best in our category and the region. The layoff - Canopy’s first - was specifically aimed at re-focusing the company to prepare for the next phase of growth. We appreciate and value the contributions you made to Canopy and will continue to support our alum as they find the next step in their careers.
