Incompetent, dishonest, and cruel. Couldn't manage their way out of a paper bag. - Engineer Leafly Employee Review

Where do I begin? This is a company that has been blindsided by the 4/20 cannabis holiday for as long as I can remember. They've never had a plan for what should be a knockout, home run day for their website without having to scramble to implement it. It falls on the same day every year, guys. Despite very little of Leafly's senior management actually engaging with cannabis culture, they all have that classic stoner attention span. Focus is diverted from project to project with no long-term vision. People steeped in cannabis culture are either ignored or laid off. Instead of finding their niche and moving confidently in one direction, after a decade in business, Leafly's brand voice is still ill-defined, incohesive, and suffocatingly square. Every year (sometimes twice a year) there are layoffs and promises of no more layoffs. After this much money, time, and talent has passed through its doors, who is left to blame but management? Career development is non-existent. You will get little to no recognition for your effort. You will find none of the career growth you are looking for. I repeat: do not take a job here expecting to grow in your role. Like clockwork, every season a new mentorship program, book club, or Slack channel will be created around vague ideas of career development, only for it to quickly fizzle out and be replaced with some other half-baked idea a few months down the line. Management is too busy spending years creating rigid career advancement guidelines to actually promote any employees. All theory and no practice. Meanwhile, senior management is promoted left and right, constantly shifting into new roles, which ordinary employees are somehow expected to applaud and be excited about. If, somehow, Leafly’s used car salesman of a CEO impresses you with his sports coat and crocodile tears and vaseline smile and you end up taking a job there, be warned that day to day work is an endless grind. You will work constantly and yet somehow get little done, thanks to management constantly undermining each other and giving you conflicting directives. Leafly initiatives are diffuse, unfocused, half-baked, and targets are constantly shifting. Good luck trying to track down the definitive source of truth on a given task or issue. Literally nobody knows which team is responsible for what project (and there are many). Lastly, diversity and inclusion gets a TON of talking time, yet with every round of layoffs, women and POC are disproportionately impacted. On that note, the reasons cited for the last round of layoffs should be extremely questionable to anybody looking at the cannabis industry today. Leafly is powered by the exploitation of millennial enthusiasm. DO NOT work here. You will give everything and be left with nothing. Even a small child learns to stop doing things that hurt themselves and others. Leafly manages to never learn anything even after being explicitly told what not to do over and over and over again. Heartless, incompetent liars who talk a big game about doing the right thing, but truly, and I cannot stress this enough, do not give a damn about you.
