Pros

Hands down they hire the best people. The sales team is incredible, the product team from start to finish is impeccable, and I could go on and on regarding each department. They really have some top talent.

Cons

Bro culture to the max. And this stems from the top. If someone doesn’t fit this “bro” mold, they will find a reason to let them go. It’s a chaotic and fast environment and if you can’t keep you’ll be kicked to the curb. They hire great people, but eventually everyone will burn out if they are constantly expected to do 110% or else lose their job.

Pros

Cool office building, learn from some of the best sales reps you’ll come across in your career

Cons

I worked at podium for a few years. It was the most toxic sales culture I’ve ever experienced. I do not say that lightly It was worth the money a year/two plus ago. They raised quotas multiple times in the last year and decreased the commission percentages. It is wild how many hoops an ae had to jump through to close a deal. In my 7+ of being in sales it was probably the hardest sale to close and I was a top rep. If you want to join podium it could be a good learning experience but it will come with a lot of headaches, anxiety about job security (they pip sales reps out like no other company I’ve ever worked for) and maybe some tears
