Pros
Great pay, and some really good benefits - for example, I get paid days off to volunteer in the community, and I work from home with a flexible schedule. Morale in the team I work on is high - people like working here. We're getting stuff done and having fun doing it. I feel empowered to make change if I see it needs to be done. We change our process if it's not working for us. I feel respected and I respect my colleagues. I like my manager and really the whole management team is fantastic. They communicate well, helping the rest of the company understand priorities & trends we need to care about. They don't blindly follow the latest management fads, instead they take a human approach. It is refreshing, I don't feel like a number on a spreadsheet. The code is in good shape, despite what some other comments have said. I have been doing this for a while and my tolerance for weirdness is probably higher than some. The code my team works on is very well tested and documented, and not extremely difficult to jump into as a new hire. The company is very remote friendly and I haven't had any problems in that regard, it's been smooth sailing. No surprise, it's a global company after all. Last thing - the other engineers. I have met many talented, experienced engineers here and it has been truly humbling. Because Meraki is part of the Cisco umbrella, there are a ton of smart people here.
Cons
It's a mature application with tons of customers and many features, and uptime is critical. You have to code slowly and thoughtfully, and test thoroughly. Luckily almost all the foot-guns are covered by automated tests to keep you from doing something bad on accident.
