Pros

The only pro about this place is that it opens the door to real software jobs

Cons

Zero work life balance, subpar pay, unreachable quotas, 70 hour work weeks, poor leadership at every level. Very poor leadership at the top. I was told that I had to earn my personal life. consistently worked until 8 pm at night. Had to take off for a doctor's appointment and was given hell for it by director. I was lied to before accepting an offer about the work from home and work life balance. management will find any and every reason to make you come into the office for unrealistic hours. If you are not 1.5 hours early you're late, and if you don't stay till 7 pm or later you get in trouble for leaving early. Additionally, I was also forced to lie to future applicants that were considering accepting an offer by the company in fear of retribution for being honest about the TOXIC work environment. During my time with Meltwater there were 2 lawsuits settled for workplace mistreatment. It would be my guess that there are many more to come. All of this would be tolerable if the pay was good, however as a sales consultant you can only expect to make about 60k.

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.
