Pros

There's plenty of free food and snacks plus lots of events (baseball game, etc). The problems that we're solving for our customers are interesting and substantial.

Cons

The codebase is much older than I thought it would be and it's hard to understand how any given piece fits into the whole picture. There's a bit of every framework created in the last 15 years (jquery, angular, backbone, react, redux). Comments are sparse with some being horribly outdated. Everytime I ask someone about why this is the case, it's been shrugged off as "tech debt/a cost of doing business". There are also a ton of distractions around the office that make it hard to focus sometimes. Plus, when you ask folks for help, they tell you they're busy and ask you to find someone else, except that they end up turning around to shop on Amazon or have a loud off-topic conversation.

Pros

I have been at Meraki for just over 6 months now. In that time I have been more and more impressed by the companies success and ethos. It goes without saying that working for one of Cisco's largest and fastest growing components is both exciting and rewarding, however, it is in Meraki's values and environment that the business excels. Whilst yes, we as Territory Account Manager's carry a demanding sales quota we are encouraged to think about 'how' we get to that number and if we are looking after ourselves and each other whilst striving for those goals. Examples of this include; quarterly team events, charity days, unconscious bias training, mental well-being workshops and aspiring leadership events. This helps to build an environment that breeds success for those who work here both inside and outside the office. Apart from working for a disruptive and market leading technology business, other bonuses include, a fantastic catered lunch every day, a generous share scheme, uncapped commissions and 2x yearly trips to the US. Development and career building in Meraki, Cisco, or another of Cisco's Partners is also pretty limitless.

Cons

The only downside I can think of is that working from home is not an option in my particular role. This does not concern me but might be important to others. The intentions behind this are good, as mentioned above, its more difficult to build a cohesive team if everyone's sat at home!

Pros

Although there is high turnover, they have good executive leadership, particularly the CEO. Strong suite of WiFi products, their flagship product line.

Cons

Weak mid-level management. Lots of younger, millennium type employees with very little real-world experience and way too much influence, effectively producing chaotic and/or non-existent processes and feckless results. Consequently, with the exception of the product engineering teams, lots of chaotic energy is expended and little is accomplished.
