Pros

Good OTE if you hit quota (22% of the organization hit quota in July, this is above average) Easy to get hired

Cons

Podium hires classes of 30-40 AEs every two weeks, takes the top 2 or 3, and fires the rest within a month. Their training is laughably disorganized and long-winded. A simple lesson that could be video is stretched into 3, 1-hour long podcasts like zoom calls. While important training like how to send a quote or give a demo is skipped or forgotten about until after you need them. You're expected to close a deal on your own within the first 2 weeks of hiring or you'll be put on a 3 day PIP. Statistically, you have a 6-7% chance of making it out of their training program, only to be part of a sales team that regularly has less than 20% quota attainment. Good luck I would strongly recommend going elsewhere.
