Podium reviews

The training and ramp period was a steady stream of misinformation, and things changed so frequently that the only constant was in fact, change. I should have quit before I really started as the number of red flags was overwhelming. The database had no way to know if you were calling current customers and when you did all were mad that a salesperson could call when every one of them had real complaints that were not being addressed. The whole org adjusted on three occasions, and I was moved in my territory to call in 5 times in the first 8 months. They made several promises in the interview process that they may have intended to keep but with the changes so frequent none were true. They pitch quick upward mobility but if you want to get to a decent seat you must plan to work way more than a full-time role. Then to sustain it plans to keep that pace. I was hired with 56 people and when I left only one remained. The constant flow of messages about how teams and divisions and the org are missing the mark. Not exactly motivating mid-day. Even when you hit your numbers it is a constant feeling of warm breath breathing some micromanagement down your neck. They cut 1/3 of the staff and even those of us they kept that were at the top couldn't attain most of the lofty goals in this market. They seem to miss what the common denominator is and just continue to pump toxic work culture and romanticize working extra hours to hit your quotas. If you have no experience with B2B in SaaS and are willing to sacrifice all semblance of work-life balance for the experience then it is a great fit and the product is surprisingly easy to sell. When you see these reviews from current employees saying it is great they legit asked the whole org to leave reviews because the true ones were Sooooo bad. For a company that pitches its main value as reviews, to me, that is a shame.

If you’re a person of color or a woman (or both!), STAY AWAY. Look at the other reviews and you’ll see the term “Brodium”. It’s completely accurate. They only love the stereotypical extroverted white male who loves to mow their lawn and watch football on the weekends. If you’re a woman of color, be prepared to be forgotten, left out, and even disrespected by upper leadership. On top of that, there’s embedded Utah culture here - so they love people who fit the traditional conservative mold. If you are even remotely different from the majority, be prepared to be ostracized.
