Pros

Great people, especially the direct teams you work with! They try to take care of the employees as best as possible (or at least the ones that are in office). Learning ability is great (also a con though) but there is a lot you can learn to boost your career. Podium is a great career launcher! Great managers (Only the ones directly over you at least (Shout out to Cory Harker you deserve a raise!))

Cons

No real opportunity for growth (once you are in a department it is hard to leave that department even if your career path changes!). Not much opportunity in CS and Onboarding department to work in cross-functional roles or OKR's! (You get to learn a lot about your job but don't get to expand your learning on other roles). I will not speak to execs as they don't care to learn your name unless you bring in the most amount of money or if they work with you directly! They don't know where they want to take the company and they don't know what they want to do with the product (the only thing keeping the company afloat is product-market fit). We are getting crushed by our competitors who are creating what we needed to be already and Podium is at least a year or two behind the game. Employees are treated as replaceable and are way underpaid and way undervalued. It is very much a hustle type of work with no reward. Pto is not truly unlimited, they cap you at about 20 days or so (It is a gimmick so they don't have to pay out PTO when you leave)(and you are lucky if you get to use 20 days because of the amount of work you have to complete to at least keep your job!)

Pros

Great coworkers, lower-middle management, product, PTO “unlimited” which isn’t true but does allow flexible usage, generous 2 days off for many holidays, and catered food ~3 times a month, regularly stocked fridge with energy drinks, soda, and water.

Cons

Top down leadership disconnected from sales and customer success team. Little coordinated efforts between nearly every department. Overhauled the pay structure Jan 2026, getting rid of the performance based promotion and pay scaling. Preventing OM’s from making the advertised 77k leading to many of us now stuck at 60k or 66k w/ a horrible annualized raise schedule (high performers not getting raises left waiting for potential raises that likely won’t come this year). Nearly nonexistent HR that is hard to get in communication with.
