Thanks so much for your feedback. It's great to hear that you experienced a lot of opportunity for growth at Meltwater. A fast career track is definitely something we value for all of our employees. We do attract a lot of new graduates, and we promote based on leadership potential. With regard to diversity, that is a foundation of our culture and something we really value, and we work hard to support people of all backgrounds. That being said, we're always looking to evaluate and improve in this area -- so thank you for your review.
Thank you for sharing your feedback. We’re glad to hear you’ve had a positive experience and appreciate your recommendation. Creating a supportive and enjoyable workplace for our team is very important to us, and it’s great to know that reflected in your experience. We wish you continued success in your career.
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.
