Pros

Meltwater is an entrepreneurial environment -- you get the opportunity to take an idea and run with it. There is a lot of autonomy and opportunities for growth. If you can take something abstract and take charge of it, then you get the chance to be creative, shape your own goals, objectives, milestones and thus your own career.

Cons

It can be a challenging place to work because there isn't a lot of support in terms of many central functions. Most of the senior management are heads of sales and therefore don't really understand the bigger picture, the market, etc.

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.
