Pros
The top-level talent Podium recruits in all departments is awesome. Sales/marketing guys crush it every month and our product/engineering team does a great job pushing updates and new features along with great support from client success.
Cons
Not much here for cons, but more transparency as the rapid growth occurs would be helpful
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
