Pros

Nice people. Talented creative team. Fast-paced, gritty environment. Fun product to position. Good place to start your career.

Cons

As someone who thrives off of a fast-paced work environment, Podium will work you hard but *hardly* acknowledge you exist--unless you're a favorite. They won't promote you but will continue to pile on the responsibility while promoting others with less responsibility and less than exciting results. You could stay up until midnight every night working your butt off and receive no acknowledgment. Then, they'll tell you they're considering you for a raise just to string you along. They won't help you progress down a certain career path but will try their best to keep you strictly in your role. Advice to those stuck, go elsewhere. There have been numerous teammates who have left and now make double the amount they were making at Podium. It makes me incredibly sad to say this because I loved my team but ultimately the lack of opportunity, experienced leadership, and equality of pay & stock made me look elsewhere.
