Pros

The people are so friendly. Everyone seems to know my name. Really interesting projects to work on in programming languages I love (Elixir, Ruby, JavaScript, etc...) The values are good and help keep us on course. I get a room with only 3 other engineers with a closing door which really helps keep the sound down. I'm treated like a senior engineer although I would normally be considered a junior elsewhere. Podium is like family.

Cons

Sometimes people are encouraged to work late, however it's unlimited PTO so you can make up for it pretty easily. Area is pretty expensive to live in but not nearly as bad as Silicon Valley obviously.

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
