Meraki reviews

If you are serious about this field, I would recommend you to stay away. But if you want to have an easy life, then I would recommend you to join. Yes, I know the "responsibilities" on their website may seem very interesting. But trust me, if you have a CCNA then you are already the 50th percentile, and if you have a CCNA and a CWNA, then congrats, you will be able to handle almost everything, so you are not going to learn anything new in Meraki. And when you work in the company for 1-2 years, your knowledge in networking will get simplified as well, then you will get stuck in this company with a very low salary (by the way, when you get "promoted" into a different team, you are NOT getting ANY raise (i.e. same base)). For the Wireshark packet analysis, the command: ip.addr == x.x.x.x will cover 90% of your daily task [please don't think this is an "analysis", it is more like if you can't figure the traffic goes because the UI suck, then you will need to take a packet capture to figure it out what is going on, there is nothing to do with the "analysis"]. The responsibilities and qualifications on the website may make you feel like are a network engineer. But in reality, you are a customer support/help desk. Just don't carry too much hope into this job, because you will get disappointed.

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.
