Hard to be Successful Here

Pros

- The people who work here are really lovely. It's a really relational culture and it is very easy to build relationships across the organization and across functions. - Powerful investments made in team members from WFH support, great benefits and an ESPP, fun employee gifts. - The employee experience team has really excelled and has gone above and beyond in the pandemic to keep people connected and to create special experiences that bring people together.

Cons

- Lack of alignment across the executive team leads to unclear priorities and a lot of wasted time and energy across the organization. There is also little investment from senior leaders in how they demonstrate care or appreciation to people within their functions (and the people who support their functions. ) - Ability to be successful and the quality of your experience depends on your manager which leads to a differentiated experience across the organization (e.g., different levels of support, acknowledgement and celebration, etc.) - I was hired as an IC and didn't receive a single raise or comp adjustment in the three years I was there despite taking on additional responsibilities and becoming a manager.

Thank you for reaching out. We agree: our employee experience team really outdid themselves! With all the events they organized over the last year and a half, it was like we were back in the office. And yes, our benefits are some of the best around. We’re disappointed to hear about the rest of your experience. Our goal is to ensure that every Merakian is supported and has a “best in career” experience with us. We are continuously working with our leaders to understand what growth and learning paths our employees need to succeed and how we can help them along the journey. We’ll be sharing your input with leadership. Thank you for telling us about your experience. Your feedback really matters, and it helps us grow along with you.

Pros

- Food, - Office - Cisco benefits - Trips (offsites)

Cons

Toxic kindergarten culture. The company culture is becoming corporate Cisco and losing its start-up culture - it is ok if you are not a start-up kind of person. In the cafeteria, it feels like you are back in high school: if you are not blond or good-looking, you are welcome.
