Pros

- Fun work outings and company parties. - Young crowd - Fast Growth if you last long enough.

Cons

I can honestly say this was by far the worst work experience ive had. Managment is very inexperienced. You get promoted to sales manager from sales consultant purely based on performance and not the ability to manage. Managment has had no managment training whatsoever. A very aggressive approach to everything. You are forced to call companies who are not interested and force them to buy a product that doesn't even work effectively. This is a pure COLD CALL environment. Management is allowed to talk down to you and be condenscending they are within their rights to treat you however you like and nobody including HR will help you. You are basically a dog behind bars working there. You do and say as you are told and if you talk back or stand up for yourself they will get rid of you quick. This is not a consultive sales role. and lastly there is NO WORK LIFE BALANCE. you are expected to work over time without pay and then work from home too.

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.
