Pros

I have been working at Meraki in sales for over 2 years and still look forward to coming into work every day. The product is fantastic, making a fun and interesting line to sell. The people have become some of my best friends. Management is full of trained men and women who I see as mentors. I have a long and prosperous career here which I am grateful for.

Cons

I wish we could travel into our terrotories more often. Normally you can only go 2-3 times a year but I would prefer 4+.

Pros

Used to be a fabulous company when the founders were around. They believed in the vision, and maintained the hungry startup culture. People were more than happy to prop up and support others. The company was scrappy, and good people were recognized for doing a good job. Fast forward to 2016/2017. Super inexperienced managers were promoted for good individual contributions. They weren't promoted because they're good at developing others. Problem is, they don't have the "for the team" mentality, but are way more interested in self promoting (like in any situation, there are some exceptions). These managers are afraid of letting their directs shine, so their directs work like dogs and don't see any recognition for the effort. Unfortunately, this mentality seems to start at the top.

Cons

You won't see the excellent leadership, well thought out decision-making, recognition, or career advancement opportunities that you might see at traditional Cisco either. The snacks of a startup environment are still around, though slowly dwindling. The office is in SF, which used to be a perk for a tech company, but that is changing too. Don't waste your time here. Look for another startup with great leadership, or go to a big company that has been tested.

Pros

Great product, great people and a great environment! I enjoy working alongside the best and the brightest! Everyone here is passionate about what they do and driven to succeed. It's an added extra working in a beautiful office that is progressive with free food, unlimited snacks, and pet friendly. Meraki is a shining star of Cisco with all of the comprehensive benefits.

Cons

Not able to work remotely but I thoroughly enjoy coming to work everyday and collaborating with the various teams.
