Pros
To give context of my review - I went through the full Management Training Program on the Client Acquisition side of things. This means going through the Sales Consultant, Sales Manager and Managing Director roles. Ultimately, I was with the company 4.5 years and have nothing but good things to say about the organization as I developed personally + professionally at a rate I never imagined. This led me to my dream job 6 years ahead of my expected timeline. Some Key Pros: - Product is world class and miles ahead of the competition. Makes it easy from a new business side to switch prospective clients from competing services. - Rapid career growth: Meltwater provided me with opportunities to move to 4 new cities and work a number of different roles with a number of different products/teams. - Invested career development: the company promotes based off of success and not off of time in the company. The leadership team provides consistent guidance and will teach you everything they know as they are invested in your success. - The People: everyone in the company is amazing. Very intelligent, passionate, competitive, and creative group that will push you to excel. More importantly you will develop some fantastic connections/friendships with your colleagues. - Culture: one of the most fun and dynamic working environments you can be involved in. - Sponsored work events: every team/individual success is celebrated after the hard work is put in. - Company vision: the CEO is brilliant and has a much larger vision of where the company is going. Rapid growth in media intelligence market has sparked the vision for a solid roadmap of what is next. - Compensation: the base salary is not high but the earning potential on commissions + bonuses can make for a ton of financial success.
Cons
If you do not want a challenging job and want a standard 9-5 this is not for you...the work life balance reviews are accurate. Must be willing to take and apply feedback. As mentioned in pros - the leadership team is invested in your success and will provide direct feedback to help you grow.
