      Pros

      Meraki has a great feel, your team becomes like a second family. Expect to work hard and be surrounded by people who were also the smartest person at their last job. Company events are frequent and fantastic.The right manager will help you get ahead and you'll have lots of opportunities to pick up new skills and get promoted.

      Cons

      Depending on your manager, your movement through the company can be very smooth or very hindered. Work/life balance is going to be skewed towards work.

      Pros

      Although under Cisco's umbrella, Merkai's culture is pretty great with wonderful people and companions (dogs). There are company trips and events year round, snack perks, and the occasional food fair.

      Cons

      There isn't much room for advancement unless in your in sales or any other department that matters the most. No working from home policy.

      Pros

      Meraki is disrupting IT, and doing it with all the style of a startup in San Francisco. Cisco saw the disruption coming and bought the best Cloud networking solution on the market, Meraki. The founders stuck around long enough to engrain the culture permanently. Meraki is in the middle of it's big growth period, and it's a fantastic time to be a part of this group of people. Imagine Google in it's early years, after everyone realized it was more than just a search engine. Revolution in IT had to come with the Internet, but it took longer than expected.

      Cons

      In order to disrupt IT in the corporate world you have to be a big corporation - or at least a part of a big corporation. Meraki kept their name, their culture, and 99% of their people in the acquisition by Cisco. You will hear that Cisco is a big company and confusing, and some employees have a fear (rational or irrational) of becoming "corporate" depending on your perspective. This actually drives them to stay competitive. No one likes change, that's true in any organization. People leave and start new companies, that's even more true in San Francisco's startup world than anywhere else. Cisco is one of the more family friendly and engineering talent friendly "corporate" companies in the Bay Area. Sure their offices in south bay are not as fancy as Meraki, but they'll probably upgrade their offices or already have started. Cisco has been the #1 company in IT for decades. Now it's time for... Cisco to keep that title. Meraki on the other hand now goes from being a cool start up with a great product and a small market share, to being the #1 company in IT.
