What's great about Meltwater are the people and the culture. But I believe that more and more decision made are very contradictory to culture (petty, greedy, etc). The company expects very high standards from people, but does not have very high standards as a company. Shit equipment, no phones, etc.
Briefly describe your overall experience at your company
As said Meltwater is still a great place to work, but not a good employer. It is made up of great people across the globe that makes working here fun. But compared to other employers Meltwater is cheap and very cynical. We have a very strong culture, but it is because of great people on the ground.
What is most positive about the culture and environment at your company?
Again, all the great people!
What's going wrong and how can it be improved?
I don't think anyone is excited to go to work every day.
What are some of the best things about your team?
A great bunch of people! This is where Meltwater still is very good!
What is most positive about the culture and environment at your company?
The people! Meltwater is still a great place to work, but a terrible employer if that makes sense.
What makes you most happy at work?
The people around me, and that even though we are working hard, we are having fun, which makes everyone so much more effective and dedicated.
What does the leadership team need to get better at?
Communication in particular. But as an employee you want to feel invested in, acknowledged, appreciated and "valuable". Meltwater has a way of making people feel like pawns.
What are some of the best things about your team?
Amazing people in general. I have been part of of a couple of Meltwater offices and what always stands out is how great our colleagues are. The best thing is that the group make every day fun.
Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?
Our benefits are absolutely crap compared to similar companies. We need better parental, better insurance, better salaries, better equipment, better most things. The fact that we still don't have company phones or the most shit cheap laptops on the market is just ridiculous and cheap.
Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?
Well, looking at other companies our salaries are way below average. For people in direct sales, the commission on collection (which in itself makes sense) has been a terrible deteriorate when it comes to salary. Every month I feel like Meltwater is tricking me out of thousands, by manipulation of #
