Pros

I loved my team there

Cons

Executives have made linked in posts saying how amazing it is some employees work 12 hour days The values are weaponized to get people to work more hours. Be a founder means always be working I get slack messages all day and night If you aren't in the inner circle you'll never go anywhere The people who get promoted are 'suck-ups' All the matters to execs is money

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
