Meraki reviews

Too many but will tell you later

To be honest, I did not have high expectations when I applied; mostly because of a poor experience interning with Cisco some years ago. However, after going through the interview process of coming to the office and meeting my future team, I was convinced to join even though I had other offers from places I had ranked higher at the beginning of my job search (including a fast growing profitable biotech startup that was offering 10% profit share). I was searching for culture and work life as the utmost important items for my job search this time around, and believe I chose correctly. Here are some reasons why: - No workaholic culture here; I'm in the office working 8 hours a day and that's normal. There are those that work more, but that's self-driven. Many in leadership are now old enough to have kids, and the expectation from above is this isn't a place where your life is expected to be devoted to work. - That being said people are not apathetic or lazy. In fact the people I work with hold themselves to a very high standard, even though we already are many levels of quality above what competitors in the same space try to imitate. - The people I work with day to day are very smart; previously working for places such as Apple, Facebook, Nest, etc. - This might seem trivial, but the interior decorating at the office is the best I've ever worked at, and I would not have previously held that in high regard as something to care about but it makes coming into work feel just a little nicer every day. - Culture-wise, openness and transparency are valued not just in a mission statement but in actual practice. - It's not perfect, but management genuinely cares about making Meraki a welcoming place to work for ALL. Like almost all tech companies, the demographics are skewed in the engineering department, but efforts are underway to be more diverse. - Opportunity to work on everything ranging from firmware to React - Business performance is excellent, growing extremely quickly - Pay matches other top companies in the area
