Pros

I have worked at Meraki for over 2 years and I have zero plans to leave! I love the atmosphere of the SF office, its inviting, inclusive to everyone and overall just an amazing place to work. My manager truly cares about me personally and my career at Meraki, I have been promoted into a position that matches my skillset and experience.

Cons

Each team does have their own culture and some teams definitely have some work to do in the diversity and inclusion department, but I feel as though leadership is aware of this and taking the necessary steps to make it better.

Pros

Free food just like other company in the bay area

Cons

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.

HR leadership in short supply

Pros

Culture across teams at Meraki varies but generally, entry and middle-level employees are approachable and responsive.

Cons

HR leadership is lacking. More concerned about employees not using colloquial phrases like "hey guys" than skillfully rolling out job architecture and compensation programs. Meraki has promoted middle-level managers into sr leadership roles that are above and beyond their skill set and natural talents.
