I applied through other source. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Meraki (Sydney) in Dec 2018
Interview
Three rounds of interviews, 1st with HR, 2nd with the Directors, and 3rd with the team lead.
Before my final interview with Cisco Meraki, I asked the HR person about salary and if there was any negotiation on the base salary as it was a little below my expectations. He did not enjoy this and said to me specifically that I clearly "do not understand the culture and values of Meraki" and gave me a very strong "take it or leave it attitude".
He ended the call telling me that he was feeling very frustrated at the questions I was asking him, and I shouldn't be asking about the rate, and grateful that I even made it that far with no prior IT product sales experience.
Long story short. I finished the 3rd interview, and after all the times I spent interviewing and spending my time with these guys, I have not received any feedback about the outcome of my application.
I don't believe one bad experience with one person represents the whole company, but in my experience with Meraki Cisco I was definitely burned.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Meraki (South San Francisco, CA) in Feb 2021

I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Meraki
Interview
Appalling interview process with Meraki. First interview with the recruiter then I had an initial conversation with the Regional Sales Manager which went pretty well. At the end of the call I have been told they will provide me with an update within the next days to schedule the next step. But none of that happened and I didn't get any feedback either positive or negative which is quite rude and unprofessional.
