Meraki reviews

Meraki used to be a very special place within Cisco. We were living in our own little bubble of culture before Cisco leadership came in and wiped that all out. There is a huge disconnect in communication between senior leadership and direct sellers. We are all having a challenging year due to global economics/supply chain constraints, but our ELT just dusts that under the rug by yelling generic enthusiastic sales slogans at us. "WE WILL WIN!" does very little to help us navigate the uncharted waters of the current environment. Tons of change as we finally get fully merged into the Cisco sales motion. It's hard to see this happen to a company that I have loved for so many years. Burnout is very high and so is attrition whether or not upper management is willing to admit that, it's true. Unrealistic goals are also discouraging as reps push themselves to the limit to hit sky high quotas. 20% YoY growth is not a sustainable trajectory, regardless of how well a region does in a given year. It is impossible to reproduce that success year over year over year. Recognize the breaking point. Lack of funds for in-person events has also put significant strain on team collaboration and sense of community.
