Pros

There are a number of pros that I can think about working for Podium. They have a lot of nice swag, awesome office, and some talented people. The perks are great like the gym, drinks, and swag. The executives are good at building up how great the company is, and they are investing millions in the brand trying to prove it.

Cons

This company lacks a real management team. I am not sure why they were able to raise millions of dollars for this hype machine. They talked about how they have loads of lead flow, but I found myself cold calling a lot. They act as if they were Qualtrics or other real tech companies that have sold for billions. Turn over is very high. They keep talking about new products, trying to keep customers paying a lot of money for very little value. I bought into the story when management told me where this was headed, but it was not a good fit for me. I like to sell something that has real value and where management cares about the customer for something more than their money.
