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.

Pros

Training, opportunity for advancement, global culture

Cons

The culture can be very high school-ish with lots of cliques. Leaders at Meltwater have rarely worked anywhere else, so they are very set in their ways. Sometimes this is ok, and other times it's not.
