Pros

* Great working culture - everyone is really nice, respectful of your time, and open to collaborating * Key part of Cisco's business - Meraki is becoming more and more important to Cisco, and continues to grow at a neck breaking pace - it's a very exciting part of the company to be a part of * Opportunities for growth - everyone is very open to letting you manage your own career and helping you find the opportunities that will get you where you want to be

Cons

* Cisco culture - though everyone can be nice and generally relaxed, it can be challenging to work through the 15-20-30 year Cisco culture where folks can be disengaged, unfocused, and without a bias for action * Unclear path for growth - though everyone is open to helping you find your opportunities, there isn't a lot of guidance on where your career is headed to follow on your role * Leadership sometimes seems out of touch with employees - people ask tough questions during Town Halls, but leadership never seems to give straight or satisfying answers...generally feels avoidant

Pros

If you are early in career or transitioning, the NSE role is great way to get your feet wet with networking. You have opportunities to learn more in other IT domains as well but not as intensely. When you are off, you are off. No being on call. There are tons of resources and opportunity for you to train and learn. The benefits are some of the best. If you work near a Meraki office, take the opportunity to go, it is worth it. The San Franciso office is the best. There is plenty of documentation public and internal facing. There is a process for handling cases that have no documentation which is very nice. You are not alone on this job ever.

Cons

Being an NSE day to day can become tedious. Most customers are fine, but you will eventually run into one that is difficult to work with. Everything is based on your stats like talk time and customer satisfaction which can be problematic at times. I left because there were no opportunities to move on to a different role. Cisco proper is pulling in the reigns tightly on Meraki, so the culture is changing not for the better. Being in the call queue all day can be tedious especially when it gets backed up and you do not get your scheduled down time. In the US you will have to work weekends occasionally unless you get someone to cover which is becoming harder and harder due to change in overtime policies.
