Pros

Cool part of Cisco, which is like saying most modern of the dinosaurs. Good place to rest and vest.

Cons

Since the Cisco acquisition it's been a continuous increase in the bloating of the company and the political madness. Big egos at the top who lost touch with the market and the troops.

Pros

All the benefits you dream about when getting a job at a San Francisco tech company, including free food, games, gym, fun activities, and beautiful office space. The entire staff are young, beautiful and driven professionals and is ideal for socially inclined people. The product is great and excellently supported/designed, with best practices pulled from Cisco Systems.

Cons

Being successful at Meraki in sales is a gamble, and its Vegas odds. As youve probably already read, Meraki assigns one quota to every territory in the vertical, regardless of geographic, population, or economic inputs. Meraki basically takes what they "think" every territory "should" generate in terms of revenue (most likely to hit their corporate sales goals) and slaps them on everything from Boise Idaho to Manhattan New York. This means you are either going to be a sales rockstar and promoted quickly with minimal effort, or busting your butt just to pay rent with an achievement history that makes for an awkward conversation at your next job interview. Lastly, if you decide to roll the dice and accept an offer, it is essential that you find the popular kids on the sales floor and befriend them quickly. This is probably just as important as being an actual good sales rep, if not more.

Pros

Great employees, very nice people to work with

Cons

No career trajectory, no coaching, no growth. Makes if difficult to be excited when top talents are neglected. Your opinions don't count. And middle management is heavy with talentless people leaders
