There are 4 values that all Podium employees are expected to demonstrate (albeit imperfectly):
Win for the customer.
We sit on the same side of the table as our customers - their wins are our wins. We're building the vendor we always wished we had.
Default to transparency.
We believe in honesty, transparency, and kindness. It's about how you get things done and not just what gets done.
Speed is a feature.
We move fast and take ownership. Don't let perfect be the enemy of good.
Win and lose as a team.
Individuals drive inputs, teams drive outputs. We celebrate success together but aren't afraid to fail and iterate. We own outcomes together and don't deflect blame.
