Pros

Location: halfway between Provo and SLC and close to many other companies Industry: "tech" is hot, so gaining experience in the industry will open doors People: most employees are genuinely nice and helpful and team camaraderie is high Perks: snacks, weekly lunches, and lots of Podium-branded gear (aka "swag")

Cons

Product: -the platform is simple and only marginally beneficial for customers -competitors offer either more beneficial, comprehensive services or similar features at a much lower price -the platform has no substantial competitive advantage Structure: -breaking down the functions of each department, the company can easily be characterized as a telemarketing call-center dressed as a trendy startup Management: -despite greater and greater challenges, management stays the course -when something appears out of order, management churns employees, assuming all issues are people-related

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.
