Podium has some great perks, but unlike so many other tech companies they don't offer the perks in an attempt to mask deeper issues. Instead they've created a culture where driven people can push each other to become the best possible version of themselves.
Cons
The growth is so fast that is tough to avoid some speed bumps. We spot them on the horizon and next moment we are there.

We appreciate this feedback. Thanks for joining Podium!
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
