Pros

I’d say there are few pros of working at Podium. The first is the hype around the brand. It’s sold as a hot startup in Silicon slopes and there is merit to it. Company is investing a lot. Cant complain about the swag and perks like gym, energy drinks. Monday town hall is great. People are nice, mostly younger crowd.

Cons

Management lies when they hire you. Right from the CEO to sales management, they are experts at spinning stories. There is no sales process or sales infrastructure. Be ready to cold call all day long. They have unrealistic quotas and there is very high turn over in sales. They fire so many AEs and ADMs routinely. Compensation is way below market. You are much better off joining Qualtrics or another tech company where management is not as arrogant.
