Pros

Free snacks, some cool clients

Cons

Toxic management will drive this company into the ground. They promote people that have no business being in leadership positions. Culture of 24/7 work - don’t post anything from your weekend or you’ll get called into a boardroom and criticized for not working the whole weekend. The way they treat their employees is absolutely disgusting, I have never endured such a horrible, disrespectful culture. Oh, and the pay and vacation time sucks too. Stay far far away

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.
