Pros

The product is genuinely world class, it’s delivers great results. The swag and culture are solid, benefits are nice and the people in my experience were great. It is a really good company, and compensation is very good if you do well. but you do need to think carefully about joining

Cons

1. Leads. You couldn’t get colder leads if you tried. They will tell you Podium is a ‘known, household brand’ but it’s just not. Success is highly dependant on your own cold calling ability and what SDR you get. Even the inbounds aren’t amazing or come from events that are meh. Marketing genuinely need to revisit their strategy and execution on the digital side because it’s laughably bad 2. Systems. The level of inefficiency is staggering. To send out a contract is a 60+ step process and there is no instruction on how to do it, you just have to get a senior to help and even they struggle 3. Choice. You have no input into the vertices you’re hired into, and that is a very big deal. Ask them clearly in the interview stage what vertices you’ll be in then research thoroughly if they are doing well in that vertical Remote. You’ll be told there is no formal wfh policy but it’s flexible. It isn’t. Management will just pull evryone in on a whim regardless of wfh arrangements

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.
