Pros

There are a lot of smart and driven people at Podium, and they have a good product. I always felt like they had a bright future ahead with a lot of room for growth.

Cons

I have worked a a few different billion dollar companies with all differentm kinds of management personalities but this by far was the most toxic. If the CEO didn't like you everyone knew. He was very impulsive, and the management team was too afraid to stand up to him in any capacity. I even witnessed him cussing at an employee for accidentally disrupting a meeting. I am hopeful that in his time as a leader he has grown out of these bad habits and learned some empathy and what true leadership really is.

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
