I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Podium (Denver, CO) in Oct 2022
Interview
Recruiter phone screen
Spoke to hiring manager
Demo with hiring manager and higher up
Spoke to VP - negative experience
When I first heard of the role, I was encouraged to show my sales skill set which I was very confident on. Unfortunately, once I spoke to the VP, he wrote me off bc of my resume. Didn’t matter I had 4 years inside sales experience if my outbound experience was slim. Was later offered a role but as an SDR.
Disappointing to dedicate so much preparation to a role I didn’t have a shot in the first place.
Declined SDR role bc pay is subpar. Role was remote and after manager admitted they made some mistakes with their remote employees but didn’t explain how they fixed those mistakes - instead hinted that I come into the office. Not worth it. Was willing to go to Utah and train hard for AE role but not worth it for SDR role when there are plenty of other companies that pay better for SDR.

Question 1
Describe a time you felt like you weren’t good at your job because the job was so hard
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Podium (Lehi, UT) in Jul 2025
Interview
They rescheduled the meeting multiple times. Then they showed up late. They then proceeded to give the most unprepared interview I have ever had, while walking away from their laptop multiple times. Body language couldn't be more obvious that they didn't care I was there.
They questions themselves were pretty standard: How do you currently work deals, Why do you want to work at podium. Etc.
I did think it was funny that they gave me a lecture about needing to research the company more before an interview (fair) while they clearly didn't prep for the meeting at all. It was too bad because the first interview I had with them from their HR team was incredibly professional and sharp. The woman who ran it did an incredible job, But the second one was a total cluster.

Question 1
Why do you want to work at Podium?
How do you currently procure opportunities?
Casual, panel of 3 interviewers, They asked me a slew of questions about history, but more questions about how I would approach prospecting in different situations. Overall it was a positive experience, all 3 interviewers were managers, and I ended up working for one of them
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Podium (Melbourne) in Feb 2025
Interview
Managers were nice enough but seems they were looking for someone with direct tech sales experience and I was out of the running from the start - definitely not my strongest interview anyway.
Cheers to the recruiter for putting me forward - he was pretty hopeless with follow up. Gotta learn how to deliver bad news my dude, it's literally the job and super bad for your personal brand as a recruiter. Nice enough guy.
