Pros

time off and PTO is good great product (when its in stock)

Cons

man where do I start: 1) low pay compared to the industry 2) no inventory and no payout until things ship (over 180 days out) 3) performance doesn't matter here. many people get promoted even if they've missed quota multiple times. if they're running SPIFFS that's enough to get them promoted even if their performance is lacking. 4) management does nothing to help employees with their desired career path 5) they brag about supposed raises they gave out but even with the so called raises the company still pays low compared to the industry 6) they brag about the culture but its pretty much non existent 7)upper management never answers the real questions that employees are worried about. its always "we're working on it" but nothing ever comes of it 8) when job openings do show up they almost always hire someone that they already have in mind but will make people go through the interview process just so they can say that they gave others an opportunity (and everyone knows this) 9)they never address these issues and choose to ignore them 10) the territories are not equal--they keep raising quotas

Pros

There's nothing positive to say

Cons

- Women are sexually harassed, discriminated against, and underpaid. Those who are consistently top performers are blocked from promotions and are not provided the coaching, support, and opportunities that men are given. If you are a woman, you are at a disadvantage. - Leadership is full of talentless individuals who tolerate sexism and inappropriate comments and behaviors. - It's a culture based on selfish behaviors that reward bad practices. There is a glass ceiling to get a promotion. A lot of social climbing people and those close to management get promotions rather than those that work the hardest. - A tense and long-hours working environment where you have no support or engagement for well-being. - Sales is an administration role, highly dependant on your Cisco AM - you're just updating discounts and shipping trials. - Success is highly dependant on the territory assigned.

Thank you for sharing your observations. We would appreciate the opportunity to learn more from you. We expect every Merakian to be respectful and supportive. Harassment—of any kind, for any reason, of any person—is a violation of company policy, and we will not tolerate it. We’ve brought your concerns to leadership. We also recommend reaching out to the ethics team to make a report (you can do this anonymously). Again, thank you for taking the time to share your observations about behavior that is absolutely not condoned at Cisco Meraki. Your feedback makes us better. Together we can create a culture of respect and an environment where everyone feels supported.

Pros

some perks from Cisco, but so what, considering the cons, it is not worth it.

Cons

This company is dysfunctional. Managers are like zombies reciting scripts from HR, and about "leadership", "proactive", etc, etc. They have no heart and no soul. This company is hypocritical. Just look at the feedback from Meraki itself, when somebody posted a negative feedback about the company, they wrote as a response: "Thank you for sharing your feedback. Our goal is for every Merakian to have a positive work experience, and we were sorry to hear you are having a difficult time." So blame the other person having a difficult time, and not look at its own fault. Avoid this company at all costs.
