Pros

I started at Podium 3 years ago as a wet-behind-the-ears SDR having never sold SaaS. In those 3 years Podium has given me: - Unbelievable professional growth. I've worked my way up to a Senior AE, being promoted 4 times. Yes, the money is great when you hit your numbers but you also learn, learn, learn. Working at Podium will set you up for a successful career in tech sales. - Friends for life. The culture at Podium is something else. - The rewards/spiffs are unreal! There's monthly spiffs for top performers and overseas founders club trips to places like Mexico/Bali etc. If you're a hard worker, you will not find a better place to start, or continue your SaaS career.

Cons

- Surprise, suprise, you need to actually hit your numbers to succeed at Podium. If sales was easy, everyone would do it (and we wouldn't be paid hundreds of thousands of dollars a year for it.)

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
