Pros

- great career growth - your manager and team will work very closely with you to make sure you achieve your goals and will mentor you along the way - really fun "closing day" festivities! - potential to make some serious money if you put in the work - you meet some really great fun people who become friends! - promotions occur rather quickly if you're putting in the work and hitting your numbers

Cons

- A lot of emphasis on only hanging out with Meltwater people. It can be a little "cult-y" - LONG work days - you sacrifice a lot of your personal life in order to succeed there - People are promoted just for hitting numbers, so they don't always make the best managers

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.
