Pros
The leadership team, including Eric, is solid and honest about their mistakes. They're quick to change course when something isn't working, which I really appreciate. The product is great and getting better all the time - I'm genuinely excited about where the company is headed. The engineering culture is strong and collaborative. People care about doing good work, and we ship quality products. The company is all-in on AI, which shows up everywhere from our product to how we run things internally. Change is constant at Podium leadership doesn't hesitate to change direction when something isn't working, which keeps us moving fast.
Cons
The company has very high standards, which is both good and bad. While it pushes everyone to do their best work, there's basically no tolerance for poor performance, and people get let go very fast. I've seen some really good people get fired mostly due to bad timing or circumstances, which creates some anxiety amongst employees. Lately there's been more focus on metrics like lines of code and merge counts, which doesn't quite fit with our usually quality-focused engineering culture.
