Pros

While I have mixed reviews about my experience with Meltwater, I would tell anyone that is motivated, and capable of endless feedback to take the job. I truly met some amazing people and gained an understanding of business that couldn't have come from anywhere else. If you get the right sales manager/managing director it can be an amazing experience. Benefits and compensation were pretty good. Built good relationships with my clients. Young and exciting environment.

Cons

Little to no communication from management Felt a lot like high school at times Promotions were awarded on sales records, NOT ABILITY to manage people EXTREMELY high pressure, with little or no support from management. **This is an office by office and case by case basis. As an account manager to are asked to clean up the mess of previous account managers. Some clients love you, but more often that not, they hated either our service or our product. The ability to turn them around was extremely difficult and management found it more beneficial to hold meetings and talk about the problem, rather than implement a pro-active solution.

Pros

The product is cool and if properly onboarded customers will get value from it. Coworkers are fairly social If you are new to sales would be a good place to learn the basics

Cons

Probably the cheapest company I have ever worked for. Benefits are below standard, they changed the commission plan every year I was there so that you would make less money, and you are expected to share hotel rooms when you travel. Look up Meltwater on Reddit or LinkedIn. They are known for very aggressive sales tactics which you will be forced to implement on your customers. A culture of micromanagement that comes from the top down. Virtually no avenue for promotion unless you are willing to move or get lucky and someone leaves.
