Meltwater Interview Questions

Application

I applied through an employee referral. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Meltwater (Manchester, NH (US)) in September 2016.

Interview

I applied for a developer position. I had two phone interviews then came into the office and met with six people, two at a time. They asked about past work I have done and asked me to diagram on a white board the architecture of the current system I was working on. They did not ask me any specific technical questions which I thought was odd. They then tested me on problem solving by asking design questions involving the creation a web site for a fictional car rental company. Odd again as I am a developer and not a systems architect.

Interview

Did a phone interview with HR and was then scheduled for another interview with two managers in the group. They had basic questions. I was then invited to come to the office to attend a happy hour and meet the employees there and the other applicants for the same position. Most of the selected applicants were men with only a few women.

I was then called to come in for another interview with the same managers and a manager from another office that I would be reporting to. I had a lot of experience, most than the rest of the applicants, yet it felt like they didn't trust my abilities as a female and didn't believe I could have tough conversations with others. I knew that no matter what I said, they would never believe me since they already made up their mind about what I could and could not do.

I applied through college or university. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Meltwater (Austin, TX (US)) in October 2017.

Interview

The interview process was fairly conversational. Very typical of most sales interviews. I was asked to complete a mock sales, give myself feedback and do it again. They asked many questions about personality and culture. I felt they knew I was qualified but spent most of the time ensuring I would fit in with their company culture, which is unique and very party/ drinking centered.

Interview

After the initial application process, you'll speak with a team member for an initial phone screening call. Once you've done that you're invited back for a group informational session. They'll discuss the company's products and introduce their team. After that, there is a formal group interview where you will do a passion speech and speak about something you're proud of yourself for. You will then move on to the one on one more formal interviews.

The entire process felt a little juvenile. This would be a great job for someone recently out of college. I wouldn't recommend this for someone more established in their career.

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.

Interview

Came to the office and sat through a long lecture from the leadership on site. Then we were asked to introduce ourselves, pitch a passion, and do a mock pitch. Overall it was a fine experience. The interviewers were a little bit pompous, but no big deal. My only issue with the interview was the fact that we were there for a 2 hour group interview, but it seemed that we only got a chance to speak or do anything for no longer than 2 minutes or so. Seemed like a bit of a waste of time or energy for everyone involved at that rate. Overall, a good company, but not sure I'd keep the same interview format.
