A lot of scenario based questions and a technical take-home assignment. Big red flag was that they refused to disclose the salary even after asking twice, once in the initial interview and again in the final interview. I've also heard that Meltwater underpays so that's most likely why, but extremely shady to go through a 3 stage interview process while refusing to even disclose a salary range.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Describe a challenging time in your life and how you overcame it
I applied online. I interviewed at Meltwater (New York, NY)
Interview
Language skill test first. I need to summarize a Chinese news into English. This round was followed by a phone interview with a hiring manager. Our conversation lasts about 40 mins. She seems to be really interested in my backgrounds. One day later, I had another phone interview with the team leader. Then I was invited to attend the Mingle Session which will happen in just a few days.
