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

Now past tense, but simplicity philosophy built a great product. Keeping autonomy inside Cisco allowed innovation at speed.

Cons

Internal to Cisco. Meraki and Enterprise networking teams have merged. Meraki structure no longer exists in the way that made it great. Chaos has ensued during the merger process, which has been in planning for over 8 months. Implementation, which started 3 months ago, is still incomplete. Middle managers and employees are being squeezed, creating a toxic workplace. Employees forced into the list below. Fearful of saying anything, against the redundancies. • Accept targets that are over 4 months late and repay commissions retroactively. • Cover both product lines, despite inadequate training on the new offerings. • Meet significantly increased targets, sometimes 6x or more. • Take on multiple roles due to ongoing layoffs over the past year. Additionally, there has been a Meraki brain drain with key leaders leaving, and no pay increase to reflect these additional responsibilities. It would not be a surprise if Cisco dissolves the Meraki brand name in the not too distant future.

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.
