      The worst experience of my working career

      Pros

      Half-decent salary for an entry level graduate job. Literally no job you do beyond this will ever be as mentally challenging.

      Cons

      Nothing about the culture is genuine, work-life balance is non-existent.

      Thank you for your feedback and sorry to hear you feel this way about your time at Meltwater. What you have described is not representative of the culture and environment we strive to create. People are central to everything we do, and we take recruitment very seriously, as such. Nevertheless, we are always looking to improve so thanks for your feedback.

      Pros

      Music played during the day helps it go by faster.

      Cons

      They preach no sharp elbows however there are abundance of sharp elbows. New inside sales reps are made to recite lines that sales managers provide to them like some sort of robot. They promote by tenure/popularity not success.

      Pros

      - you meet very nice people, and become very close with your team. Pretty much all I can think of

      Cons

      - day ends at 530 but you are told/expected to work longer, without overtime, and its a problem if you leave when the day is over - the turnover is ridiculous because people realized they were sold something completely different when they started - you are expected to be on the phone day in and day out, and do client work on your own time which piles up extremely quickly - management has no training to become a manager - its basically a high school, cliques, drama, who is with who, and its extremely easy to not fit in if you don't partake in social activities because you have a life outside of work... which is unheard of here - no work life balance at all .. perfect example the 'norm' is to have meetings 530 on a Friday, and no one is bothered by it because this is their entire life - their EOY goal is to retain more employees... enough said.
