Pros

Operating in a new and exciting industry is fun and adventurous. They allow employees to take cannabis smoke breaks on the job, which is pretty unheard of and cool.They are working on disrupting the industry and have a great product to do so.

Cons

Rampant unprofessionalism at all levels of the organization. Within a month of working with Flowhub I saw a C-Level executive resign, dealt with late payments, and listened to profanity on a regular basis. In one meeting a manager exclaimed "We are going to be so f'ing rich," to me. Really? Because I know that I'm going to bust my behind working and never be rich because I wasn't in from the beginning. This is so immature, I couldn't believe this Product Owner actually said this to me. The CEO is no better, as he even boasted to me about how he had to fire the COO, which according to others, wasn't the case as they had actually resigned. Regardless, that is private and doesn't need to be shared openly with such arrogance. Regarding their work, regular design approach was "Who can we steal from?" Constantly looking to copy design solutions from other brands, namely InVision, Apple, and work from the Envato Marketplace. I suppose this is because everything is on fire, and nothing is clearly mapped out or planned. As a result, the timelines are ridiculous and expectations are unrealistic for one person. Financially, don't expect much. The pay was below average and was met often with problems. Checks came addressed incorrectly, direct deposit took close to a month, and pay frequencies changed according to the will of the CFO. Despite my cordial departure, my final check was postponed 2 weeks despite friendly emails. The only way a response was received regarding the delayed payment was because a Notice of Intended Court Proceedings correspondence was sent out.

This review was written by a disgruntled remote contractor who never once stepped foot into our offices. We had to stop using this contractor after a few weeks because they misrepresented their abilities and was unable to deliver what they were hired to do.

Pros

The growth opportunities here are real — I've been able to move up quickly and take on more responsibility in a short amount of time. The team culture is genuinely great, everyone is supportive, and it shows up in the day-to-day. You can tell people actually like working here, and that makes a big difference.

Cons

No company is perfect, but Flowhub continues to build its culture and is always striving to offer a great experience not only to their employees, but to their clients and customers as well. That kind of mindset goes a long way.

Pros

Many incredible people work at Flowhub. The platform is user friendly, and it’s a fast paced environment in a growing industry. There are opportunities to learn a lot quickly and be close to the action.

Cons

Work/life balance can be tough at times. There can be a noticeable gap between how leadership talks about values and how decisions actually play out day to day. It often operates more as a profit driven business than a mission driven one, which has contributed to turnover and good employees choosing to leave or being let go. Priorities tend to shift quickly, which makes it difficult to stay focused and build real momentum. That lack of consistency can create friction across teams and make execution more reactive than planned. More recently, the company appears to be expanding beyond cannabis into other regulated retail areas, including alcohol. While that may make sense from a growth perspective, it can make the direction feel less clear for employees who were drawn to the original mission. Over time, this can make it harder to feel confident in long term growth or direction within the company.
