The product is great, the people are great, and the culture is great! Podium has been my first experience in the tech industry and I don't think I'll work in another industry every again. As and ADM, I have the chance to work with some of the best Account Executives and co-workers in Utah. Everyone in the company takes ownership of their own tasks and has become an expert in their own right of the review process.
Cons
With scale, communication between departments has nosedived. This is to be expected as a company grows, but it could be improved upon.

Thanks for your feedback. We're working on improving our internal communication as we scale. Would love to hear your feedback on how we're currently doing.
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
