Pros

The people are so friendly. Everyone seems to know my name. Really interesting projects to work on in programming languages I love (Elixir, Ruby, JavaScript, etc...) The values are good and help keep us on course. I get a room with only 3 other engineers with a closing door which really helps keep the sound down. I'm treated like a senior engineer although I would normally be considered a junior elsewhere. Podium is like family.

Cons

Sometimes people are encouraged to work late, however it's unlimited PTO so you can make up for it pretty easily. Area is pretty expensive to live in but not nearly as bad as Silicon Valley obviously.

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.
