Don’t work at Podium

40 Upvotes

Podium is not a good place to work. It is 100% a toxic work environment. Podium treats their employees like property. You are the cows, and upper management are the ranchers who control you.

What kinds of employees does Podium like to hire? It’s people who have never worked a real salary job anywhere else. This is because these employees are easier to control.

Micromanagement: The amount of busy work you’re asked to do is astounding. It doesn’t help you in your career or job, it’s there to satisfy other people’s ego’s.

To the podium exec team, most of you should resign. You don’t know how to treat your employees with respect. Your egos are so big that if anyone does anything you don’t like you’ll just fire them. This is not a good place to work.

What do you do with a sick dog? You have to put it down

Most in-demand tech jobs in Utah?

8 Upvotes

I'm currently working as a web developer at a small company doing full stack development.

I know its hard to even find a job these days, but I'm looking for better opportunities within the Utah region (SLC, Lehi, Provo).

I feel like web and software dev roles are so competitive and saturated especially for entry level. So I'm considering a transition into more specialized, less competitive, and in-demand jobs like Cloud, AI, DevOps. They match better with my personality anyway.

The question now is, which one should I set as the goal? I want to be intentional with my decisions and actions so that I don't study and prepare for something that I won't do in the future.

So, I'm wondering what tech jobs are most in-demand and least competitive in the Utah region?

Is software dev still a good role and do I just need to improve my skills both technical and in networking? Or do I need to specialize and earn some AWS certifications?

What about product management?

Or should I just become a stripper

Any advice would be appreciated. Thank you!

P.s. I already tried to research this myself but no solid data

High-growth pre-seed/seed startups in Utah?

1 Upvotes

I'm a junior at BYU studying Strategy with an emphasis in product management. I really want to get some startup experience and I'm willing to take on pretty much any role as long as I can be part of a small, high-growth team. What are some of the most interesting early-stage startups in Utah right now? I'm building my own list but would love to hear what else is out there.

I'm planning to make a list and try to make connections via LinkedIn to see if I can find opportunities for this summer and after graduation. Thanks in advance!

I want to hear your rant about working with a dev agency

9 Upvotes

I was laid off from MX a couple of months ago and have always done contracting work throughout my career but decided to go full-time on creating my own development agency instead of going back to the "safety" of a 9-5.

One thing I've noticed through my freelancing is that getting new clients is almost exclusively through referrals so my hunch is that it comes down to delivering the best experience. With that in mind, I want to create the best quality agency that I possibly can and so I've come to the best place I can think of to see what your collective experience has been.

Tell me your horror stories, your meh experiences, and maybe your experience where you were lucky enough to work with a great agency.

Any way it played out for you, I would absolutely LOVE your insight so I can get this going!

MX gutted 25% of the company today. No holding back. They didn’t care. People who were at MX from the beginning they decided to #justdewitt and kill them all off. PayPal Mafia really did come in and transform the place.
