Pros
I've actually worked for some other great tech companies in Utah that generate a lot of buzz and are overall really good companies to work for. For me, Podium has been by far the best!
I've never seen a leadership team so invested and actually care about the people that work for them the way that the current management team does.
I think the way that the executive team focuses on transparency and keeping in touch with their employees has created a culture that most people here work hard and work together - in every department.Cons
The company is growing a lot and so it keeps us moving at a fast pace. I think it is actually a good thing that we've been okay to pivot and change direction - these decisions show me that we're willing to do what's right.
Advice to Management
Keep staying "grounded" and showing you care about employees - it goes a long way and I think you're doing an excellent job!

Application
I applied through an employee referral. The process took a week. I interviewed at Podium (Lehi, UT) in September 2018.
Interview
The process was quick and smooth. I was given a timed take-home test that involved multiple choice and coding questions. Once I completed that, I had a phone call with one of the team leads which covered mostly experience and a review of the code challenge. Then I was given another take-home project that involved creating 2 separate applications (one front end and one backend), which I then had to present in a series of back-to-back onsite interviews with the majority of engineering leadership. A day later I was contacted by the CTO who asked a few final questions and then made an offer.
Interview Questions
- - Code challenges involving optimization, data structure, and algorithm based questions
- An assessment to test both front and backend skills
- One whiteboard question in the onsite
- A bunch of behavioral and experience related questions Answer Question
