Annoying job

Tac engineer

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Salary is competitive. Benefits are average. The best is that it's very hard to be fired since the company in constant demand of new hires. Good career opportunities.

Cons

If you don't speak Chinese - you'll be a minority. Poor management - management wise, the company stuck in the start up stage. Everything is temporary or workarounds. Cost saving everywhere.

Newly joined after acquired by Fortinet.... found this company as Below average &No proper software process

Staff engineer

Business Outlook

Pros

looks like all the talented people already left the company. The existing Meru Managers/former employees do not know anything about the product.. If you know the domain.. you can rule here. flexible working hours. but,, lot of pressure on the new joinees.. because existing people do not know the product.

Cons

Managers put all the burden on the engineer.. and simply relax and looking for scape-goats.. least bothered about software process. Maintaining the existing product.. no encouragement to the new talent.

Pros

The building is nice when you can find parking. Other than that there really isn't any thing good about this place.

Cons

This is the most politically motivated place ice ever worked. Don't even think of saying no to King Ken and don't ever hope for there to be any process.
