I was sooo close to ditching the Meltwater interview. Standing in a hallway high in a center city Philadelphia hotel, I was pretty sure I didn’t want to work for anyone who made me wait around for 20 minutes—I didn’t even know why I was there in the first place.
After graduating from Cornell in 2002, I bounced around a little, but had most recently worked as a Project Manager for a pharmaceutical start-up. My desired career path was typical of any highly ambitious, but maybe a little clueless, guy in his mid-20s. I wanted to come in off the street,…

Welcome to the Meltwater Group blog (woot woot!). Since we were started in 2001, Meltwater has been “under the radar” when it comes to external communications. We’ve been very focused internally on company growth, expansion and sales. Here we are in 2009: 700 employees large, 15,000+ clients and 50 offices around the world.
