Meltwater reviews

Management is all over the place, I went through so many Managing Directors. They are so intent on hiring from within that they end up promoting people to management who are not ready and they really struggle. In Client Success there are so many metrics to keep track of and perform well on, it makes it disheartening when you can't hit them all consistently.

1) Cult-like company culture. Expected to spend a lot of time outside of work with your co-workers. Meltwater will consume your life. 2) Constant prospecting - You will be expected to spend evenings and weekends trying to scrape together enough leads to cold call the next day. This is made extremely difficult as other reps will have already claimed and horded most of the decent leads in their pipeline. Most of the people you call will already have been called multiple times by Meltwater (sometimes in the past few months). 3) Unethical sales practices. Products can be discounted by huge percentages at the end of the month - losing the trust of potential clients. You will be forced to push the (sometimes buggy) product onto potential clients even when you know it's not a good fit (aiding in the companies huge churn rates). 4) Please know what you are getting into. Although your role may be sold as an 'International management training program' you will be cold calling all day in a pressure cooker environment, and 'hitting target' will become the most important thing in your life. Unless you have no experience or desperately need the job - avoid at all costs!
