      Pros

      Can’t think of many pros

      Cons

      Going back and forth trying to be Cisco or Meraki isn’t working. Pick one Amount of culture talk and pumping return to office isn’t healthy. Execs can’t even name the values, let alone give examples of how they’ve used them. It’s a yes culture, if you think differently or even voice a opinion that is not in line you’ll be bullied by managers. The amount of useless middle managers is amazing, and they bully workers daily and keep getting promoted because of the inside track with execs. The color of success is white, and they get a pass for bullying new employees. Meraki is just bunch of cisco expats, few good most in it for promotions and doing rotations to get bigger titles at cisco.

      They Are Trying but Not Well Enough

      Pros

      -The other employees are all really great. There is a shared sense of camaraderie in the suffering -Good Transparency from C-Suite - Stable Work - Regular Team Building and Celebration Events -They really seem to mean well and recognize that there are issues that need to be fixed

      Cons

      -The pay is abysmal. Any of the other benefits are not worth what they will ask of you for what they are paying -No opportunities for growth. No annual raise. -Any employee outside of the headquarters in San Francisco is functionally ignored by Leadership. No job growth outside of the San Francisco Office -Leadership is obsessed with returning to office and actively disparages employees who choose to work remotely -Middle management truly is an inefficient nightmare -No cross organizational vision or management -Business systems and architecture are outdated and inefficient -Onboarding was a disaster; very little support for new employees

      Messy, unfocused and bureaucratic

      Pros

      - Managers say all the right and politically correct things. - Hires out of school and gives you opportunity in positions you won't get elsewhere. - Benefits, bonuses, training, opportunity to experiment with technology. - Products are actually very good. HW is excellent.

      Cons

      - Feature factory where everyone makes a mess and nobody cleans up. - Projects/features often end with quarter and are not further maintained. - Projects are done for completion credit and promotion, not for quality. - Compliance with internal unwritten rules is the only way to get rewarded. - Official rules for rewards and promotions are impossible to achieve, giving managers all the say by defining lower acceptance criteria for people they like. - Messengers are tolerated, but never promoted. Bad news are a nuisance.
