Pros

The actual work and problems being solved are interesting. There is a flexible work from home policy in place that allows people to take time out when needed.

Cons

Lots of random unforeseen (and somewhat idiotic) changes coming down from Senior Leadership recently. Some of the decisions seem unexpected and bizarre. When questioned about it, they give generic answers that avoid answering the question at hand. The decisions also seem to have not involved our input at all and trust/morale among engineers is quite low, with many people openly considering to leave the company.

Pros

Standard tech perks in the Bay Area (free food, pool table, etc)

Cons

We've been blindsighted by lots of changes recently, including a complete change in our compensation and bonus structure (from Meraki's unique structure to one that is identical to Cisco's). There is also a hiring freeze in place but that was never discussed widely by leadership (only diffused slowly via gossip throughout the office). When I interviewed, I was told by nearly every interviewer that Meraki "isn't like big Cisco", but this no longer seems to be the case (if not quite a lie). Recently, we've been told that "Big Brother" Cisco is forcing us to move from Gmail to Outlook (yes, a modern tech company moving to clunky Microsoft Outlook). There was quite a large backlash from engineers about it but we were told to "bring concerns up with leadership during their office hours" rather than leadership answering questions openly.

Pros

There is a lot of growth happening at Meraki. You get the benefits of Cisco, free food and drinks, many perks in the office, and for the most part, some really awesome people.

Cons

Horrible senior leadership, specifically the Support Recruiting Senior Leadership. Complaints are submitted, yet HR and Senior Leadership continue to not do anything....our voices are not being heard and management would rather people work with toxic leadership than take action. .
