Pros

Great employees - some of the most hardworking people you will meet. Good benefits. Cool industry to work in.

Cons

No one knows what the hell they are doing. Leadership does not add a single bit of value to the org and has no idea what their customers actually need. They have had a dying platform for 3 years with no end in sight on how to turn the ship around. Instead of building out new products and services to help accounts, they just dilute their marketplace and charge more. Data is now hidden from accounts. They know if clients see the numbers they will bomb all of their spend.

Dynamic culture with room for improved communication

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.

Horrible

Pros

Pay is good and benefits are (or at least were) competitive. The people are the best part. Coworkers are smart, fun, and supportive. Company parties and events are well done and one of the few consistent bright spots.

Cons

Leadership frequently changes direction and throws away months of work, which makes it feel like nothing ever actually gets shipped or accomplished. It’s frustrating and demoralizing to invest time into projects that get scrapped over and over again. Promotions are talked about but rarely, if ever, happen. There’s a pattern of overpromising and underdelivering when it comes to career growth. Benefits have steadily declined over time (e.g., significant cuts to paternity leave, removal of company-wide days off, reduction in smaller perks like snack boxes), which signals a shift in priorities and hurts morale. There’s very little transparency from leadership. The CEO is largely absent and rarely communicates with the company. There has been 1-2 all-hands in the last 3 years, leaving employees in the dark about strategy and direction. Unfortunately, cannabis also carries a stigma, which can impact your career more than expected (even down to things like needing to rely on the parent company name for loans like mortgages). There’s high turnover, especially among strong employees, and it feels like many people are leaving as soon as they can. Overall, there’s a lack of clear vision, and it’s hard to feel confident in the company’s future.
