      Low pay long hours. Good job for sales exposure

      Sales consultant
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Great exposure to sales and getting outside of your comfort zone. Gave me the confidence to realize I could be good at sales. There is definitely a type of person that thrives at meltwater but I am not one of them. I would recommend this as a stop-gap job

      Cons

      Toxic Culture. Aggressive sales tactics lead to high turnover. So many unpaid hours. Passive aggressiveness. “Homework” on sundays. 3 zooms a day for cold calling just making it harder to focus. Everything is tracked and people often praised for making the most calls even if they are dialing random numbers. Product is never a need for companies - way overpriced.

      Thank you for taking the time to leave this review. You are right in saying our sales program will put you outside of your comfort zone. We know this isn't an easy job, and it's not meant for everyone. Our sales methodology including KPI's around prospecting and activity has been tried and tested over the past 15 years to propel our sales employees to success. That being said, it isn’t for everyone, and I’m sorry it didn’t work for you. All the best in your future success.

      Meltwater was not a pleasant experience

      Pros

      In retrospect, I feel like it's pretty much a cult, so you'll feel very supported at first. A lot of fun parties/after work events. Some people thrive in cults, if you're one of them, you can do well here.

      Cons

      Lots of stress, bad work life balance. Compensation is quite low, although perhaps not compared to other sales companies. Once you leave the company, people will badmouth you (I have never experienced badmouthing of previous employees at any other companies).

      We are very upfront with employees that sales (in the beginning of your career) will not be easy. Work-life balance can mean different things to different people. As you know, our core values focus on working hard and being number one, but also on having fun. We do a lot to create an environment where people can work hard but also find time to relax and balance the two. We understand a career in sales is not for everyone and appreciate the feedback.
