The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Meltwater (Montreal, QC) in Jul 2011
Interview
-Phone interview which ran through your resume and application. No sweat. If they like you, they will immediately invite you to their open house or group interview. If you aren't invited immediately, you either botched the interveiw and you will not progress, or you were mediocre among the other candidates and they will do an internal process of elimination. Usually, the interviewer will have another manager listening into the call.
-Group Interview with several candidates. They run you through the company inside and out. You will do some group activities (debate facebook vs twitter, pitch a hobby of yours to everyone). If you dominate the conversation and appear to be the most outgoing, you will likely be chosen for the in-person interview.
-In-person interview. You are interviewed by 5 Meltwater employees (all managers, managing director, and area director. The interviewers will very much play the role of good cop, bad cop and the bad cop tries to crack you. They ask you a plethora of questions about you and why you like sales, they tell you about how tough the position is. Mid-way through the interview they will perform several mock calls.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Give me a positive headline about my company that will make me clear my entire schedule.
made it past the screening, learned from hiring manager they expect 150 dials per day, which is insane. you are a full cycle rep, how are you supposed to run any demos and close any deals if you are dialling 150 times per day. Not to mention the base pay is trash. what a joke.

Interview
Very kind and supportive team! However, I felt that the interviewer was not quite engaged from the beginning. Overall, great experience and enjoyed the process. The interview left me feeling excited about the opportunity and what it would be like to work at the company!
