So I’ve seen a lot of bad comments on WeedMaps regarding culture and such. I’ve also heard because of the industry it could be a torpedo in your career as some companies don’t like the association. Thoughts?
It honestly wouldn't affect my hiring decision. Weed helps a lot of people in a lot of ways. I might even call it noble to make it easier for my grandma with cancer to get some mental and physical relief.
Thanks! We are a bunch of really hard working engineers. Anyone who thinks we are smoking all day while we build state of the art apps for millions of active users is a foolish !
In the end of this capitalistic country, we all seek profit, but I appreciate when the industry can be a bit noble.
So do they pay you using bags of cash?
I wouldn't want to work for any company that wouldn't hire someone who has worked at a weed company.
Thanks! We are a bunch of hard working peeps trying our best to make the world a higher place :) ! plus, lots of people really benefit from cannabis in the medical space and rely on us to get through the day
We have engineers that have gone on to work at google, Facebook, etc just to name a few. And we are bringing on talent from those companies too. It’s an awesome place to be with lots of growth opportunities! dm me if wanna know more
Hello Weedmaps! Can you please refer me for an opening there?
Those comments are fake news. The culture here is excellent, and we’re on the leading edge of tech now. Have come a long way from being a rails app. Pay is good for Irvine, and has good benefits (health, dental, free lunch, and 401k matching)

Joined the team for 6 months and LOVE it!
I am a bit upsetted by reading these comments. Weed has medicinal properties with less side effects than 90% of the pharmaceuticals sold at exhorbitant prices that no one objects to, not to mention alcohol that is prevalent and legal. I know people with neurological diseases who swear by the properties of weed. Also it has been legalized in most of the US. Don't know anything about Weedmaps itself, but it is short sighted and archaic mentality to associate any weed related business to lack of seriousness and frivolity. It is mentalities like this that makes it difficult for people to get the medicinal care that they need. I too do not want to work with or be associated in any way with people with such backwards thinking.
First thing that comes to mind when I hear of someone coming from WeedMaps is, so you just smoke weed all day long? Lol. I mean it’s unfair and silly, but, there is some association aspect to it as well. I’d avoid it, at least in 2019.
Lol that’s ridiculous and I’m sorry you think that. I’d say only about half of engineering smokes regularly and maybe 5% smoke during work hours. We have some really awesome engineers and we’re tackling some really challenging problems
