Pros

There are so many features to work on that you're constantly challenged and interested in your work. Although not without flaws, the products are cool and interesting.

Cons

There is an abundance of intrusion by Cisco into Meraki's previously small company culture. Senior leadership is unwilling to listen nor support our viewpoints about areas of improvement we should make. The salaries aren't as competitive as as other larger and more established tech companies. There's also a hiring freeze in place imposed by Cisco making teams struggle to find the resources needed to meet their goals.

Pros

Free equipment Snacks/coffee Video game/pinball room Diverse workplace Relaxed dress code

Cons

Disconnected and indifferent management Heavy workload Widespread responsibilities that have nothing to do with network engineering Lack of autonomy in one's workflow Underwhelming products (from a network engineering perspective) Company will not invest in your professional development (I had to take PTO to take network certification exams, which I had to pay for training with my own money and study on my own time) Pay does not match the cost of living in San Francisco Telecommuting is very uncommon Strange and strict hours (example: you can be expected to work 0600-1500 one day then 2000-2400 the following day) Loud workplace Unclear promotion structure
