Pros

Work life balance, remote and/or hybrid work (very flexible), opportunities for growth especially in greater Cisco

Cons

- inside sales managers are young in their careers, big culture of micro management creating bad team culture - unrealistic sales quotas and goals - few opportunities for a raise in current role. Almost seems like they want you to leave as their is no incentive to grow in your current role after ~year

Pros

The flexibility of working remote or going to the office is a great perk. Office has food, drinks, and games to break up the day to day work. Benefits package is what you would expect from a big company such as Cisco (good benefits). Work-life balance is good as well.

Cons

The culture is what Cisco prides itself on, but that is lacking on the Meraki side. If you don't know the right people you will not be recognized or go farther than the role you start in. Career advancement and development goes to those that have been with the company even if they don't have the experience.

Pros

- Daily lunch if you're allowed into the office. And I say allowed because some of my own colleagues are not allowed into the office for choosing not be part of a medical procedure. I love that I can only see my friends over video. (Sense the sarcasm?) Every other business in Sydney has their doors open to all staff members and Cisco think it's okay to create a two-tier world.

Cons

- Multiple account managers and sales engineers have left and management think its okay to just drop emails to whoever think will bend over and complete what they need done even if they're not qualified to do so. - Asking for a pay review is like asking for money out of their own hip pocket even though YoY growth continues. - Management don't consult about operational changes to those who will actually be affected by it. They will just drop new changes and expect you to deal with it even though they're not ones on the frontline. Most of the changes are counter-productive to efficiency and pro-micromanagement. - It clear what's happening here, Cisco made their cash and now it's time to pull down every operational cost just so the business runs on bare bones and see how long it turns a profit. - Loyalty doesn't mean anything, you're literally just a number. - "Best place to work" awards is very far stretch, don't be naive, these awards are paid for. - Only about 20% of the portfolio is in stock with majority lead times being minimum 3 months and a large amount being 6+ months, and yeah you guessed it, you only get paid comms when it ships. How do you get paid if there's no stock?
