I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Meltwater (New York, NY)
Interview
Brief phone call followed by an in person group interview a few days later. They only cover travel expenses if you're hired. Group interview was about 20 people and 10 execs, be prepped to formally introduce yourself. You're paired with a team and sell Meltwater's product to a company of your choice. Then wait to hear if you're invited to the final round which is an hour long personal interview. Very intimidating execs, not welcoming, not interested in your success. This was my least favorite interview of all time and I'd never do it again. be ready for role playing

I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Meltwater (San Francisco, CA) in May 2018
Interview
Long and not for the job I originally applied for, the interview was a group of about 20 candidates. Then they made everybody wait 2 hours for a call back either to decline you or ask you to come back for a personal interview.

Question 1
What has been your greatest professional achievement?
I applied online. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Meltwater (Helsinki, Südfinnland)
Interview
Initial phone interview, followed by group interview and best applicants vere invited back to personal interview.
The group "interview" was a total circus and a waist of everyones time playing games and performing in front of the audience. They also did not disclose too much details on their service/software and how and to what it can be use ,but they definitely expect you to now it, so do your googling before, if you're planning on going there to waste your time.
In the personal interview they had more than 10 ppl sitting on the other side of the table, making it feel more like jury hearing than job interview.
Mock up call to a customer (for me it was to my previous employer) - either trying to book a meeting or trying to keep an unhappy customer to continue using the service (again, you need to magically understand everything from the software and how it can be used or just work your way around it).
What were the names of the people in your table during the group interview? Whom of them would you hire/not hire for the position and why? they also asked specifically about 2 other persons who were at the group interview if I would hire them or not and of course why.
