Vantaggi

Use latest and greatest technology stack. You get a lot of gimmicks like free snacks & drinks and a nice office, or from home. Get to work and talk about marijuana all day and technology.

Svantaggi

They don't invest in their new employees. Expect to be hired without much knowledge of your experienced and fired the moment they learn you don't meet 12/12 on a theoretical "Joel Test" afterward.

We're sorry to hear that you didn't enjoy your time at Weedmaps. Weedmaps has a very high talent bar and will always be in the pursuit of seeking the greatest technology talent and improving them via sending developers to conferences, hosting hack nights and our implementation of a guild system to allow developers the ability to push for the latest and greatest technologies. We invest heavily into our technology team and culture is also of great important to us. As we rapidly expand, we're always looking to improve our hiring methods... unfortunately (and is likely the case with any other company that's rapidly expanding), sometimes with trial and error. Best of luck with your future endeavors.

Vantaggi

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.

Svantaggi

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.
