Pros

The people at Podium are great and the culture was solid. Flew everyone out to Utah for a week of training which was great. They used to pay for everyone that worked remotely to visit once a quarter to be around the office and culture but they have cut back on that.

Cons

Turnover in the Sales department is about 6 months. The commission they tell you AEs have made in the past is when they were selling in the enterprise space. Very few AEs selling in the SMB space come anywhere close to quota, most struggle to get to half of quota. My new hire class was the biggest they've had and the one following mine was about double. The company struggled last quarter as did the industry and they have been going through a lot of layoffs to fix their mistakes. It seems that they are looking to go public soon and they have been making a lot of changes and seem to only be worried about their bottomline.

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!)
