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

Best company I have ever worked for, bar none. Yes there are growth challenges as we become more integrated with Cisco, and yes sales is hard, but Meraki creates an environment for employees that is supportive and feels like home. I am proud of the product we sell, and am honored to be part of the Mid Market team that has developed immensely since its inception 3 years ago. Great benefits, company events, and opportunity for upward mobility either within the Meraki BU or to greater Cisco. Hard work pays off.

Cons

Quotas are becoming evermore challenging to achieve. A lot of the OG Merakians have seen us become more corporate (Cisco-like) as the start-up style culture is fading. Lower pay than other tech companies in the Bay Area. Politicking with Cisco can be frustrating if you are not good at hiding how you really feel in certain situations. Can feel a little 'bro' oriented.
