Pros
Had a chance to work with some great people Chance of traveling to other offices Kick off in Asia every second year
Cons
Poor management has meant that talented people are flooding out the door of Meltwater. In the last 12 months approx 50% of the UK work force has left. People promoted based on Sales and not on actually being able to manage people. They hire young people with no sales/work experiance and wonder why they don't sell anything and leave Every minute of your day is micromanaged. The Salary structure/Commission structure is terrible. They pay way below the inductry standard. The way the commission structure works you can still earn £0 commission even when your on target. Literally impossible to live in London on the salary they offer. No extra benifits at all. Everytime they released a new product it doesn't work and is so buggy. Work life balance doesnt't exist. You will be in late at night prospecting because you aren't aloud do it during the day. Might as well cancel your weekend plans because you will be working over the weekend too. The product is sold on the last day of the month for 90% reductions to hit target. clients are hasseled to sign a contract and then never spoke to again. Fake forced culture being promoted. Basically tring to paint over the cracks making it look like everyone is happy with fake smiles and high fives when in truth everyone is miserable. If you don't worship the Senior Management Team you will be seen as negitive and not a culture fit. The company is turning into a frat house. If you aren't out there and loud you will not succeed.
