Pros

Outstanding culture, amazing managers, promotes work life balance, focuses on career growth and development, office environment is inviting, focused on diversity and inclusion, the list goes on..

Cons

Direction of projects shift somewhat often although managers are aware it will cause delays, communication of changes between teams is sometimes a game of telephone, that's about it.

Pros

Great people, especially the direct teams you work with! They try to take care of the employees as best as possible (or at least the ones that are in office). Learning ability is great (also a con though) but there is a lot you can learn to boost your career. Podium is a great career launcher! Great managers (Only the ones directly over you at least (Shout out to Cory Harker you deserve a raise!))

Cons

No real opportunity for growth (once you are in a department it is hard to leave that department even if your career path changes!). Not much opportunity in CS and Onboarding department to work in cross-functional roles or OKR's! (You get to learn a lot about your job but don't get to expand your learning on other roles). I will not speak to execs as they don't care to learn your name unless you bring in the most amount of money or if they work with you directly! They don't know where they want to take the company and they don't know what they want to do with the product (the only thing keeping the company afloat is product-market fit). We are getting crushed by our competitors who are creating what we needed to be already and Podium is at least a year or two behind the game. Employees are treated as replaceable and are way underpaid and way undervalued. It is very much a hustle type of work with no reward. Pto is not truly unlimited, they cap you at about 20 days or so (It is a gimmick so they don't have to pay out PTO when you leave)(and you are lucky if you get to use 20 days because of the amount of work you have to complete to at least keep your job!)
