      Not worth it at all

      Customer success manager (csm)
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Great people to work with. Met some great individuals during my time.

      Cons

      Pretty much everything else. Burnout, anxiety, lack of support, gaslighting and more. If they like you you’ll do great and it really is a good fit for some. But at what cost? The pay is decent but you can get paid just the same or more to have a much more manageable work life balance. The product isn’t that good and there’s always issues. They will give you way too many accounts that can’t run their business day to day because the product isn’t working properly. There’s also no communication between off shore support and the on shore teams. To this day I still receive phone calls from Podium clients when I never gave out my personal phone number. If you can take any review seriously, take this one. If you don’t have any other offers it’s not a bad start but don’t plan on staying for too long.

      Disappointing Leadership and Toxic Culture

      Sales development representative (sdr)
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      - Some genuinely talented coworkers - Fast-paced environment with potential for growth—if you're in the right circle

      Cons

      - Executive leadership, particularly CEO Eric Rea, lacks emotional intelligence and empathy. Feedback is often delivered in a condescending or dismissive way, contributing to a toxic work environment. Employees fear and avoid him. - A culture of fear prevails—decisions are top-down with little transparency, and dissenting voices are quietly pushed out. - Lack of clear direction: constant pivots and reactive strategies make it hard to feel secure or supported in your role. - The company talks a lot about values, but day-to-day behavior from upper management rarely reflects them. - Burnout is rampant due to poor work-life balance expectations.

      High-Ownership Applied AI Company with Silicon Valley Ambitions

      Anonymous employee
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      • High ownership and startup mindset with Silicon Valley ambitions • "Work hard but don't kill yourself" culture that respects your time while demanding excellence • Working on cutting-edge, really interesting technologies that solve real problems • Now an AI-first, AI-native company with high ambitions and clear vision • Early GPT-2 alpha customer with close OpenAI partnership since early days - you're working with the best • Team works closely with frontier labs to develop and deploy compelling AI agents • Opportunity to make meaningful impact for local businesses who truly need our solutions • Collaborative environment where your voice matters and ideas can become reality • Clear growth trajectory both for the company and individual careers • Smart, passionate co-workers who push you to be your best

      Cons

      Not for you if: • You aren't comfortable having Slack on your phone and can't handle being somewhat connected outside typical work hours • You prefer to fully clock out at 5pm Friday and not check in until 9am Monday • You're not mindful that our customers are local businesses who work weekends • You get easily distracted (everyone cares deeply and pushes hard, which can create distractions) • You struggle finding balance between staying informed company-wide vs. focusing on your specific accountabilities
