Pros

Podium is growing and that is better than the alternative. It’s nice to have 401k matching. The rest is typical tech company stuff.

Cons

There are cons just like any other company. I don’t care about those or focus on them . The growing crisis here is how much we work and the weight pushed on us by executives. Days are fast-paced, but nights and weekends are now out of control. Slacks 24/7. There is no rest and we are being crushed under the weight. Go on unlimited vacation? That’s pretty much a joke at this point. You can’t take a single day without tripling your work, or take a hit on performance. I will leave as soon as I can. It’s a shame. So much potential, just no care for employee well-being. It catches up

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
