Pros
International employee base, helpful human resources department and snacks in the kitchen.
Cons
If you're looking for organized, well trained leadership with an attention to career development, this is not the place for you. Management is promoted from within with no experience or training, so you get twenty-somethings a year or two removed from college just winging it when it comes to managing their employees. Promotion is purely based on record, not whether the person will actually be a good manager so you don't end up with a good one. Be prepared to be micromanaged. And if you're not a sales employee beware - they do not care about you. You will see sales reps getting invited to private parties at the CEO's home, going on long trips to other offices, free perks and so on, while you are designated to a forgotten corner of the office. You're constantly told you need to drink the kool-aid and fit in to this so-called amazing "culture" (which is actually cult-like and breeds sexual harassment) yet unless you are in sales, you don't get to experience any of the perks of this "culture." The pay is horrible and the turn-over is ridiculous - yet they just don't care because there are always new grads fresh out of college that they can exploit. It was the least satisfying work experience of my career. I would not recommend Meltwater to anyone.
