Pros

Great career development if you're outside of sales. Good introduction to the saas world. Perks are okay.

Cons

Management change their mind every 6 months on the directions and goals of the company with very little notice. No transparency in to how the business itself is performing. You're expected to work long hours outside of your contracted hours. Customer support is shown little to no love by the business despite their focus on being "customer centric". Sales is an absolute dog fight and based off favoritism of the managers and even then one bad month after consecutive months of great performance will see you being punished despite out of this world quotas to try and hit. Pay is well under the industry standard.

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
