Pros

Company has raised good amount of money and is spending that money on perks, new building and lots of hiring. The coworkers are nice.

Cons

Really bad culture, most of the reviews are written by HR or asked employees to post positive reviews. Try looking for number of reviews that say, "too bad that i did not join Podium long time ago". All those are fake reviews. Employees are asked to work long hours, below market salaries and no 401k. Founders think that they have already arrived in Silicon Slopes. Its a Frat house! Dont be fooled by reviews, remember they are a reviews and ratings company. Thats what they sell.

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.
