Pros

--You have a lot of responsibility and control over your territory, you really are able to manage it almost completely. You have a direct influence on sales in your territory. --Product is easy to sell and demo, it's something people really need --Great, fun culture-- free food, casual dress code, you can bring your dog to work, dart guns and big exercise balls everywhere--it's a really casual, fun environment. This year we had a Meraki houseboat trip and Tahoe trip. Our Xmas present was bikes for everyone! --The people you work with are great. Smart, fun, social. The job itself is great. I actually enjoy going to work, and the work feels exciting. --Quotas are attainable and fair, and the hours are good.

Cons

-- Fast growing company, so things are always changing. Quotas will go up, territories will get split, managers and teams will change. You've got to be okay with change and a fast paced environment. -- Competition. Like any sales job. -- Turnover isn't high, but some people aren't able to ramp up their territories fast enough so they can sometimes struggle.

Pros

You can make really good money if you get a good territory. Free food everyday, free beer and snacks!

Cons

I am writing from a male's perspective and I absolutely agree with the reviews about this place being a frat house. There really was a "vote" to all the sales people about who they wanted to be a manager and those people got promoted. The girls do feel harassed and have complained to management and they say it's just our culture. The HR department here is a joke, they don't do anything even though they know all the problems here.

Pros

I've been with the company for less than a year, and so far its been everything I've expected. I joined Meraki because I wanted a fast paced, fun, interesting, exciting, high-tech, pre-IPO google-like environment. It hasn't disappointed. The training program is extensive and detailed too. There isn't much politics here and everyone seems to work hard and not create drama. There are a lot of changes, but that goes along with most start ups. Managers seem fair and turnover hasn't been bad.

Cons

Cisco acquisition is definitely something to consider, since Meraki was planning on going public. I’m assuming no more stock options. One good thing is that hopefully the Cisco acquisition will create more opportunities. Also, Cisco has promised to let us operate separately and continue our growth. Parking is pretty bad after 8:30 am. On the flip side, we are moving to near AT&T ball park mid to late next year. It should be easier for public transportation and bikers.
