Pros

Podium is growing and that is better than the alternative. It’s nice to have 401k matching. The rest is typical tech company stuff.

Cons

There are cons just like any other company. I don’t care about those or focus on them . The growing crisis here is how much we work and the weight pushed on us by executives. Days are fast-paced, but nights and weekends are now out of control. Slacks 24/7. There is no rest and we are being crushed under the weight. Go on unlimited vacation? That’s pretty much a joke at this point. You can’t take a single day without tripling your work, or take a hit on performance. I will leave as soon as I can. It’s a shame. So much potential, just no care for employee well-being. It catches up

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.
