Pros

Everyone hopes to find that organization that has the culture, the people, and the growth opportunities that fit them perfectly. Most people don’t expect to find it 20 minutes from their home much less with one of the fastest growing tech companies around. Podium is an organization where you find yourself surrounded by people smarter than you but those same people are willing to step in and coach, contribute, and drive you to be your best. I think my favorite thing may be one of our values: Delight The Customer. Our focus is on the change our product drives in our customers’ business. We strive to change the way our customers communicate and in turn delight their own customer base. This means our entire organization collaborates to find the right solution for our customers on every level. Every now and then that solution might even involve cake!

Cons

So much free food. I’ve gained 8 pounds! That may be more of a will power issue...

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
