I have to say the entire process was just terrible, awful, and unorganized. Meltwater seems to be very cult-like. The initial screening interview is acceptable. I spoke with a nice person, and they made me feel like I was a genuine candidate. That is where the positivity ends. The next level is the group interview. This is THE most awful experience I have ever had in an interview process. It is 2 hours long. The first hour is a gruelling uninteresting presentation about the company (given by an absolutely obnoxious and toxic girl that kept bringing up how crucial their cult-like culture is). It literally ONLY covers the stuff all candidates should already know. It's very basic and pointless, and everyone just sits there and nods their head on the zoom call pretending to care. The second hour consists of an intro about yourself; then, you give a minute speech about something you're interested in, aka "The Passion Speech." For the entire 2 hours, I had 2 minutes to speak. I had no way to demonstrate value, no way to stand out. They were looking for a very very specific type of person. The type of salesperson nobody likes in the industry, and I could tell this based on the speeches they seemed to enjoy. The other candidates attempted to stand out by asking incredibly pointless and unintelligent questions just to hear themselves speak. I knew I had to steer clear by the end of the group interview. The hosts try a lot of scare tactics, and I kid you not, one of the kids fainted live on the call. They had to stop the whole zoom for 5 minutes to check if the kid was alright. That just goes to show how awful this process is. And for what? There are plenty of better positions. My advice...avoid Meltwater.
