      Pros

      Great at hiring awesome people - the only reason I hung around

      Cons

      Company has never cared about any positions except sales, it is PAINFULLY obvious when they only invite sales teams to literally any “company” get together; all about outsourcing cheap labor overseas or to contractors, zero investment in current employees. Now they’ve laid off dozens of people who have been here for a decade+, reducing senior leadership capabilities, as well as brought in people on the C-suite level and let them go within a few years. Appears the company has an extremely disjointed strategy at the moment and is desperately trying to shed headcount as they prep for what their backers hope will be a sale to some other company when it’s no longer their problem to worry about.

      Pros

      The product is cool and if properly onboarded customers will get value from it. Coworkers are fairly social If you are new to sales would be a good place to learn the basics

      Cons

      Probably the cheapest company I have ever worked for. Benefits are below standard, they changed the commission plan every year I was there so that you would make less money, and you are expected to share hotel rooms when you travel. Look up Meltwater on Reddit or LinkedIn. They are known for very aggressive sales tactics which you will be forced to implement on your customers. A culture of micromanagement that comes from the top down. Virtually no avenue for promotion unless you are willing to move or get lucky and someone leaves.
