Pros

Podium is full of life and excitement. There are so many creative, bright, hard-working people who work here. In every department there is a great opportunity to build personal relationships, which always makes work a great place to be.

Cons

On the surface level, Podium fits the mold of a best place to work. But on a much deeper level there are some very serious issues. Perhaps the most detrimental problem at Podium is this: the CEO has no qualms about tyrannizing those around him, and the rest of the executive team excuses his behavior despite it being unethical and irrational.

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.
