Pros

Podium is a fast-paced environment with incredibly smart, driven team members and a product and customer base that keeps you inspired every day. It’s a founder-led company that brings genuine excitement and energy to the work, and you truly feel the ability to make an impact from Day 1. The emphasis on extreme ownership is real—not just a buzzword—and people are trusted to take initiative and deliver results. The holiday and PTO policies are strong, and time off and weekends are genuinely respected. That said, this is not the right place for someone looking for a strict “9 to 5”; the pace is demanding, but for those who thrive in it, it’s highly rewarding.

Cons

In-office requirement is taken seriously and expectation is that you're at your desk by 9a (at the latest). Not for someone hoping for hybrid/remote.

Pros

Cool office building, learn from some of the best sales reps you’ll come across in your career

Cons

I worked at podium for a few years. It was the most toxic sales culture I’ve ever experienced. I do not say that lightly It was worth the money a year/two plus ago. They raised quotas multiple times in the last year and decreased the commission percentages. It is wild how many hoops an ae had to jump through to close a deal. In my 7+ of being in sales it was probably the hardest sale to close and I was a top rep. If you want to join podium it could be a good learning experience but it will come with a lot of headaches, anxiety about job security (they pip sales reps out like no other company I’ve ever worked for) and maybe some tears
