Pros

Company has raised good amount of money and is spending that money on perks, new building and lots of hiring. The coworkers are nice.

Cons

Really bad culture, most of the reviews are written by HR or asked employees to post positive reviews. Try looking for number of reviews that say, "too bad that i did not join Podium long time ago". All those are fake reviews. Employees are asked to work long hours, below market salaries and no 401k. Founders think that they have already arrived in Silicon Slopes. Its a Frat house! Dont be fooled by reviews, remember they are a reviews and ratings company. Thats what they sell.

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
