Pros
Podium is a really fun place to work, where coworkers have become much more than just coworkers, but lasting friendships. I still hang out with many who have moved on from the team in the past few years. The finance department especially has been such a great team environment where everyone looks out for each other and is working towards common goals. The company has really figured out what matters for success and is focused on all the right things to make sure that the company continues to grow. Podium helps local businesses succeed, and that mission is so easy to get behind. It has been very satisfying to see the positive impact that Podium has had on so many different types of local businesses who are just trying to do good in their communities.
Cons
The software industry has been through a rough patch the last couple of years, and Podium has done its best to navigate that. It has been a difficult period for people who were either individually impacted or had close team members impacted by some of those business decisions related to restructuring. Overall, I think leadership did their best and the company is positioned in a great place to succeed and ultimately be able to reward all those who have stuck through the difficult times.
