Pros

Culture is the center of our day to day at Meltwater. Every day I am surrounded by competitive, passionate, and successful people who truly bring out the best in each other. I feel like the compensation is a great motivator to put in the work day in and day out. The training from day one is very hands on and you are treated like a professional from your colleagues right out of the gates.

Cons

The first few months are intense. There is a lot of work that has to be done out side of the office to make sure you are hitting all of your daily goals. But things get better with time and the hard work truly does pay off. It would be nice to have some more incentivized stock options in the near future.

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.
