      Great starting position in sales

      Sales consultant
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Great coworkers and lots of growth opportunity. Uncapped commission and lots of opportunities for bonuses. Young and fun working environment. Dress each day is fairly casual and enjoyable.

      Cons

      no protected territory at all. must generate and find leads on own time which requires a lot of work outside of the office. the job is paid hourly and you are expected to work at least an hour outside the office each day. quotas are fairly high compared to other sales jobs which means hitting target is hard.

      Stuck Between a Rock and A Hard Place

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      The people you work with are great - this company takes it's culture seriously, and you can have a lot of fun day-to-day within your role. Combined with good financial incentives, it's easy to get 'hooked' on Meltwater. You have to work hard and learn quickly, and if you do, then the job becomes a lot easier - whether your looking after clients or selling new business. You are very much the master of your own destiny too, whether this is the way you manage your clients, implement your selling strategy or plan you career development.

      Cons

      The career ceiling comes very quickly - after getting into a certain position, it becomes clear there are not many other directions to go. Poor senior management - there is a lack of knowledge at the top level, that you would certainly expect from a global company. This runs through at board level and is present through out each tier of the global management structure. Product-wise - there aren't many strings to the Meltwater bow as a tech/software firm, and updates to the product suite are slow to emerge. Combined with frequent service issues, it sometimes becomes very difficult to deliver on all the umpteen promises that are made to clients at the initial sales stage.

      Outstanding culture, great annual kickoffs, truly global company, great CEO

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Casual informal work environment mostly influenced by european culture specifically Scandinavian. Mid-size company with a startup feel when I used to work there, high energy, great diversity - there are people from all across the globe because it has presence in every continent. Great annual retreats for the entire company - not just the top management. All products are developed with a global mindset

      Cons

      Need high energy to thrive. Not for the weak at heart.
