Pros

The office is in a good location with free lunch, barista available few days.

Cons

You can't make any progress at Meraki, the most inept management ever. Every IC spends all their time in doing presentations to management to get approval, it strokes the ego of management to do endless reviews. The end result is that nothing gets shipped, and in the end there are endless decks and unhappy customers. The culture in design team is highly toxic, if you speak up against bad practices you will get fired, and there are too many. There is no value attached to good work at Meraki. It has taken company two years to release a sub-par AI Assistant which does a poor job of answering simple questions.

Pros

- Competitive pay and benefits - Employees were generally treated well, aside from mass layoffs - (YMMV) product and related teams worked on interesting problems with interesting customers

Cons

- Increased integration with Cisco. Reasonable from a business perspective, but has been managed poorly. Meraki is losing the startup feel in favor of big Cisco, which is it's own mess in terms of culture and direction. - High-performers in the low-mid level ranks were/are leaving quickly as the startup culture fades and revenue growth slows - Career progression was unclear and unstructured due to constant layoffs, shuffling within Cisco, and a mixed bag of management

Pros

Team was good, benefits were nice and perks were great. Team lead and managers were kind people who wanted us to grow professionally.

Cons

Work was terrible. Salary is very low compared to the work load. Was busy for a full 8 hours a day with barely any respute. Had to inform team when we were on our lunch breaks. Had to take phone calls to talk to customer service. Was told we are very important to the company yet had to use our own pto for shutdown days while other teams didn't.
