Meraki Developer reviews

Managers and executives constantly stress "collaboration across teams" but most teams seem to only be responsive when convenient. The teams will happily communicate with you when they stand to benefit but all of a sudden have "higher priorities" when you need their help. The other teams "care" in the "fake" sense of caring. The earlier years were much more productive and fruitful. As we've grown, we haven't quite adapted and it's clear that there are lots of growing pains across the organization. Politics is at an all-time high with the final fiscal quarter coming up (as it always seems to be this time of year). Those who have suggestions for improvement are shot down in favor of features that "win the next big deal" even when piling on tech debt.

Struggling to hire and retain talent, especially with diversity. There have been lots of "conversations" and "metrics" around diversity, but not much has actually been done to address it. Promotion or departure is often centered around "who is most social with others" or "politically the savviest", not necessarily who is most qualified for the position. Lots of projects worked on or rejected on because of political reasons, rather than actually what's best for our company overall and our customers. Lots of senior engineers departing recently as a result. New grad salary/stock doesn't keep pace with other tech companies in the area.
