I worked at Meltwater full-time (Less than a year)
Pros
Cool parties, Company seems well-known/well-liked by customers, young, tech-savavy coworkers
Cons
Cult-like, poor management, no one with real world experience or experience outside this toxic environment. They expect long hours, working late and on weekends, for no extra compensation. You could be working all day long and they would still expect you to stay an extra few hours to send emails and do presentations, etc. so you don't take any of the time you could be on sales calls. You're a glorified telemarketer.
Advice to Management
Look at broader spectrums of people, don't reward cult-like devotion but actual performance,invest more time and resources in people not parties.
