I applied online. I interviewed at Podium in Apr 2021
Interview
Not impressed. Podium seems all about trying to prove why you aren’t a good fit as opposed to talking about why you might be a good fit. Managers I talked to were very condescending and full of themselves. I currently have 4 offers on the table for other AE jobs. I’ve impressed the people I’ve interviewed with. These 2 managers didn’t really pay attention to my answers and I know this because I’d answer a question and then they would circle right back to it and ask it again. The vibe at podium seems to be “I’m better than anyone who doesn’t work here” and it’s easy to see. Fairly standard interview questions. It’s a long process to get hired at Podium. Started with an application. Then a recruiter (She was awesome. Friendly, explained the role well) then meeting with managers. I believe I would have had one more interview too.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
What is the reason you’re leaving your current job?
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Podium (Lehi, UT) in Jul 2025
Interview
They rescheduled the meeting multiple times. Then they showed up late. They then proceeded to give the most unprepared interview I have ever had, while walking away from their laptop multiple times. Body language couldn't be more obvious that they didn't care I was there.
They questions themselves were pretty standard: How do you currently work deals, Why do you want to work at podium. Etc.
I did think it was funny that they gave me a lecture about needing to research the company more before an interview (fair) while they clearly didn't prep for the meeting at all. It was too bad because the first interview I had with them from their HR team was incredibly professional and sharp. The woman who ran it did an incredible job, But the second one was a total cluster.

Question 1
Why do you want to work at Podium?
How do you currently procure opportunities?
Casual, panel of 3 interviewers, They asked me a slew of questions about history, but more questions about how I would approach prospecting in different situations. Overall it was a positive experience, all 3 interviewers were managers, and I ended up working for one of them
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Podium (Melbourne) in Feb 2025
Interview
Managers were nice enough but seems they were looking for someone with direct tech sales experience and I was out of the running from the start - definitely not my strongest interview anyway.
Cheers to the recruiter for putting me forward - he was pretty hopeless with follow up. Gotta learn how to deliver bad news my dude, it's literally the job and super bad for your personal brand as a recruiter. Nice enough guy.
