Pros

-People in non-managerial positions are usually nice and laidback. -Some cute dogs -Food -For all it is, at least WM isn’t boring.

Cons

-Turnover rivals that of Trump’s administration (yes, it’s really that bad). You might get cut any day. -Nepotism at its finest (hey candidates, don’t forget LendUp on your resume!) -Extremely low pay if you’re not mid-senior level. Company uses their “cool factor” to reel in applicants and pay them drastically below the market value. No raises, performance bonuses, or reviews. Company does not care about investing in or training employees but rather sees us as disposable objects. Your work will never be rewarded. -ZERO transparency in how the company is doing. You even get reprimanded for sharing information internally. -They pay for employees’ silence (that’s why their rating hasn’t plummeted yet). This is a place where HR has quit because of how mgmt treats people… -Look beneath the surface, there are people strategically throwing others under the bus for their own survival. -Having WM on your resume makes your job search more challenging :/ To potential applicants: if you love marijuana THAT much (ie. smoke everyday, can’t live without it), by all means, enjoy the short roller coaster ride that is Weedmaps. However, I tell all my curious friends in the tech industry to avoid Weedmaps like the plague.

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.
