Pros

Free smoothies? "unlimited time off"? Free lunch on wednesday? All the usual wannabe silicon valley perks that companies are trying to employ to attract talent.

Cons

Working longer hours than expected Compensation is on the low end Stress is hard enough to perform, then compounded by pessimistic leaders. Parking. Traffic congestion. Open office. So loud, makes it easy to get distracted. Work here if you don't mind your wife and kids hating you because you're never home. Diversity.

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
