Pros

- Motivated and great team in the development area, from other top companies with impressive experience. - Responsive management and with simple motivation to get more revenue from the market. - Implementing best practices in process and tools. - Part of the process was set up, and they are similar in most of the top IT companies.

Cons

- Tough with prioritization of the tasks. - The processes are still being set up. - Lag in communication between IT and operations. - Grey business, not clear for people who do not live in the US, because in the US, it's a clear and legal market. - Still a client-oriented company, but starting to move to a product development way.

Thank you for sharing your feedback — we really appreciate your honest and balanced perspective. We’re proud of the strong, experienced team we’ve built and are glad you’ve felt the momentum in how we approach both technology and growth. It’s especially encouraging to hear that our efforts in refining processes and implementing best practices are noticeable. You’ve pointed out some important areas for improvement. Prioritization and cross-functional communication are things we’re actively working on as we scale, and we know that clearer internal alignment will help us move faster and smarter. As for the nature of our business — you're right that understanding the U.S. cannabis market can be challenging from the outside. While we operate fully legally and transparently within the U.S., we understand that context matters, and we’ll keep working on better internal education for non-U.S.-based teams. Thanks again for taking the time — your input helps us grow.

Pros

Joined on a short-term contract after applying and being invited by Lisa to help speed up hiring. The interview process was fast, professional, and very transparent clear expectations and real feedback. Onboarding was smooth and well-organized, everything was clear from day one. The team is open, responsible, and easy to work with. People know what they’re doing and genuinely care about the product. Processes make sense and the team actively improves them instead. Modern tools, good tech, solid management, market-level compensation, and benefits in place. Overall, a very positive experience, I genuinely enjoyed working with this team and would recommend the company.

Cons

The contract was short and tied to a specific task. There wasn’t a long-term contractor role available at the time.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We appreciate the positive notes on compensation, the product, and our visibility in the market — those are things we’re proud of. At the same time, we recognize that the feedback on challenges was quite brief, which makes it a bit harder to work with constructively. Still, we’d like to address what was raised. It’s true that we’re currently prioritizing growth and product development. If you're expecting the structure of a large, well-established company, we’re not there yet. We’ve recently launched training initiatives within our engineering team, but we don’t yet have the capacity to support every department equally. On the point of micromanagement — experiences can vary. We support and train our line managers, but management styles differ, and we can’t oversee every situation in real time. It’s an area we continue to monitor and improve. Thanks again for your input — we wish you all the best in your next role.
