Svantaggi
The list is long and comprehensive. Culture shattered. Pay decreased. Quota increased. Diversity flew out the window. Podium WAS something special - even seemed to survive the pandemic. But time told a whole new story. In the Utah bubble, tech companies can get away with being loaded with white Mormon men - ESPECIALLY at the executive level. The Utah bubble doesn’t question that too much. BUT - as the pandemic opened up opportunities to hire across the US - the Utah bubble popped. Podium hired from outside their nest and it revealed the incredibly obvious fact that white, male and LDS is the path to success! If ya got 2 out of 3 of those - you have a chance. This stems from a single source. CEO. Eric is young, charismatic, and energetic, but very two faced and untrusting of the talent that has been hired. Publicly he speaks well. Privately he is a an insecure control freak who spends his time surfing the Slack channels to see who might be speaking poorly of him. I was told early on - “Never get on his bad side, don’t challenge him - or it will be the end of your career.” Confirmed. That’s NOT a rumor - his exec team knows it. They even coach leaders on how to navigate Eric and his insecurities. Eric should step aside for just a few and let Dennis have a shot at it. While less of a showman - he is simple, direct, honest and focused.
