About the Company

Founded in Oslo in 2001 before moving our headquarters to San Francisco in 2006, Meltwater is the global leader in media intelligence. We have over 2,000 employees spread across 57 offices in 27 countries & over 30,000 corporate clients. Our innovative software-as-a-service products help businesses extract insights from billions of online news & social conversations – we call it Outside Insight.

Unique Culture

For almost 20 years, Meltwater has maintained a very unique culture, based on a foundation and belief in people and the potential they possess, regardless of experience. Like many entrepreneurially focused companies, Meltwater employees embody the work-hard, play-hard spirit. Whether you meet an employee from D.C. or Hong Kong, you will likely discover many similarities in terms of their achievements, focus, and superior communication skills.

Our office spaces are collaborative, open working environments in which teamwork, learning, and fun are the day-to-day norms. Each office consists of a number of small teams, ensuring that all of our employees have easy and frequent exposure to their managers and can quickly learn from those around them.

Our values can be summed up by the acronym MER, which means “more” in Norwegian.

  • Moro - Norwegian for “Fun.” We believe that in order to become successful as a whole, we should all enjoy ourselves. That’s why we promote a fun, collaborative working environment.

  • Enere - Norwegian for “Number One.” At Meltwater, the average isn’t good enough. Our goal is to build a groundbreaking company supported by a thriving culture in which our people aspire to exceed their personal expectations.

  • Respekt - Norwegian for “Respect.” We believe it matters how a company or an individual becomes number one. Striving to be the best doesn’t mean sharp elbows: we should all treat our colleagues and customers with respect and humility.

  • MER - An acronym from Moro, Enere, and Respekt, which creates the Norwegian word “More.” We celebrate our victories without losing our drive to improve—whether in reaching personal goals or corporate milestones.
