I applied online. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Meltwater (Edinburgh, Schottland) in Jul 2016
Interview
Great company who is looking for some real characters. If you don't have confidence then don't apply simple as. First stage was a phone call, went really well chatted with the girl on the phone then she invited me to a meet and greet. The meet and greet was very casual, you all turned up, watched a presentation, drank wine and chatted. Next stage was a group interview. You saw a rather lengthy presentation on the company and product. The current employees all spoke again about themselves and their hobbies. It appears they focus more on your personality than your experiences etc but it's obvious that being able to 'fit it' is incredibly important to the employees. Which is no bad thing. The group interview lasted 3 hours, you had to sell yourself, do a debate, an elevator pitch etc etc like I said if you have confidence issues don't apply. One negative I took from the whole process was my feedback, we were told that you would receive constructive feedback regarding the interview which I was looking forward to. However the feedback I received when being rejected was 'the other candidates were better' which is obviously gathered when I'd been told i wasn't successful to the next stage. Overall if you have confidence and want a job in sales with great travel and progression opportunities then go for it. It seems like a great fun company, I just obviously wasn't the right fit.
I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Meltwater (Amsterdam)
Interview
De sollicitatie bestaat uit het schrijven van een brief, een Meet Meltwater dag (digitaal of fysiek), een groepsronde en een individueel gesprek. In de groepsronde doel je verschillende opdrachten zoals een debat en het pitchen van jezelf. Het individuele gesprek is gaaf maar kan intimiderend zijn: er zitten veel mensen tegenover je. De intensiteit is echter voor een reden, je zult met klanten ook je mannetje moeten kunnen staan!
