Pros

- The company has a clear vision for making the world a better place. I feel like I am able to make a difference in achieving this vision. - Everyone at the company is super friendly and easy to work with. Great team dynamics! - Awesome diversity and inclusion - As someone who lives in a smaller town, remote work is one of my "must have's". Podium is striving towards a remote-first experience with newer hires. - I was able to recently visit the HQ during a hack week. It was awesome to be able to meet my team members in person.

Cons

- Like pretty much every software job out there, you'll be on-call. It's not uncommon to get paged in the middle of the night. - Merged code goes straight to production. This was a little nerve-racking as a newer employee, but am getting used to this process. I think would be nice to see some minor adjustments to this process though.

Pros

Great coworkers, lower-middle management, product, PTO “unlimited” which isn’t true but does allow flexible usage, generous 2 days off for many holidays, and catered food ~3 times a month, regularly stocked fridge with energy drinks, soda, and water.

Cons

Top down leadership disconnected from sales and customer success team. Little coordinated efforts between nearly every department. Overhauled the pay structure Jan 2026, getting rid of the performance based promotion and pay scaling. Preventing OM’s from making the advertised 77k leading to many of us now stuck at 60k or 66k w/ a horrible annualized raise schedule (high performers not getting raises left waiting for potential raises that likely won’t come this year). Nearly nonexistent HR that is hard to get in communication with.
