I applied online. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Meltwater (New York, NY)
Interview
A 10-15 min phone screen was conducted. They called me in for an in-person interview at the Doubletree hotel in NYC. As I sat waiting, I saw 4 others waiting as well. I was a bit confused because they told me the interview would last about 2 hours - how could 4 people be interviewing at the same time for a 2 hour interview? Unknowing to me, they bring me into a room with the 4 other people, and across the table sat 6 people from Meltwater. That started a barrage of questions and speeches/pitches that almost felt like a Battle Royale/Hunger Games/death to the finish match. After the 2 hour ordeal, I went home and was immediately called by the interview panel. She asked me how I thought the interview went. I answered and then she told me they are going to look elsewhere. Honestly felt like they were messing with my head. The worst interview of my life. Questions weren't hard, but they definitely have a way of making you feel not worth of their "team".
made it past the screening, learned from hiring manager they expect 150 dials per day, which is insane. you are a full cycle rep, how are you supposed to run any demos and close any deals if you are dialling 150 times per day. Not to mention the base pay is trash. what a joke.

Interview
Very kind and supportive team! However, I felt that the interviewer was not quite engaged from the beginning. Overall, great experience and enjoyed the process. The interview left me feeling excited about the opportunity and what it would be like to work at the company!
