Pros

- Podia has been doing remote since long before it was cool, and they do it right: lots of flexibility, lots of trust, and treating everyone like adults with the expectation that they do great work while not micro managing them. - Super friendly environment. I love the donut chats and getting to know people from other teams! - You can see the impact of your work quickly. Creators are living their dreams every day because of the work we do, and the company puts that front and center for everyone.

Cons

It's a growing company, and that comes with challenges as they figure out how to communicate and collaborate across growing teams. It's not a place where there's a ton of rigid process, nor is it a place where everything is done on the fly, but somewhere in between. I think this is something that will get figured out over time.

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review about your time at Podia. We want every team member to have an incredible experience here, and I’m sorry that we missed the mark on that for you. I appreciate the call-out of the amazing product our team has built. It’s something I’m extremely proud of. Regarding work stress issues, I do wish that this had been brought up with a manager, as I can promise that it’s something we would have acted on. We prioritize work-life balance, and never ask team members to work overtime or weekends, or to take on duties outside of their role unless it’s something they’re interested in. Team members being stressed about their jobs isn’t good for anyone, and we take seriously our responsibility to create an environment in which everyone feels energized and excited about their work. We’ve rolled out many policies and benefits to reinforce that commitment, including: - Free, unlimited live therapy (via Zoom, email, and chat) for every team member via BetterHelp - Three weeks paid vacation (plus another week during the December holidays) - A four-week sabbatical every three years I hope this helps, and if you have any additional questions or feedback, I’d welcome the opportunity to discuss them. Please feel free to email me anytime. Spencer, Podia CEO
