      Great place to work for a growing business unit

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      * Great working culture - everyone is really nice, respectful of your time, and open to collaborating * Key part of Cisco's business - Meraki is becoming more and more important to Cisco, and continues to grow at a neck breaking pace - it's a very exciting part of the company to be a part of * Opportunities for growth - everyone is very open to letting you manage your own career and helping you find the opportunities that will get you where you want to be

      Cons

      * Cisco culture - though everyone can be nice and generally relaxed, it can be challenging to work through the 15-20-30 year Cisco culture where folks can be disengaged, unfocused, and without a bias for action * Unclear path for growth - though everyone is open to helping you find your opportunities, there isn't a lot of guidance on where your career is headed to follow on your role * Leadership sometimes seems out of touch with employees - people ask tough questions during Town Halls, but leadership never seems to give straight or satisfying answers...generally feels avoidant

      Nice culture but not moving in the right direction for some time

      General administrative

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      I would generally sum up Meraki positives with the below. I would like to give it a 4/5 however dont feel the company is going in a positive direction and the lower score indicates this. It must be said however, for a few years it will be a very enjoyable few years you have. - Great culture - people are generally easy and enjoyable to work with - Good place to be for a few years to develop some experience and enjoy work at the same time - Values D&I - Not a lot of work related pressure (if you value that) - Nice office environment (if you are in one of the big Meraki office locations) - Generally a fun place to be (particuarly a few years ago, though thats diminishing year by year) It's certainly a much better employee experience in one of the larger offices than being remote or being in a small office. (Which can be a pro or con depending on where you are). While not having a full remote policy, it has been operating that way since COVID, and the org has been pretty accepting of peoples schedules and work/life situations.

      Cons

      The org continues to stroll along with a lot of the same problems year-year. Its a sales driven org that is a part of Cisco and is run seemingly for revenue generating purposes as a lot of fundamental things in other orgs such as L&D, career growth, coordinated HR teams etc are not adequately invested in nor built to any sort of scale. - Type of org you stay at max 3-5 years, unless you can move into other roles/teams, or become a people manager - Very little career opportunity in a lot of teams, and not too bothered about losing good people - It appears people feel disconnected from what used to be a very in-office culture since WFH was a thing - Middle-Senior Leadership aren't very capable at being true leaders (due to a lack of training? wrong people in the wrong roles?) - Sort of stuck between a rock and a hard place being an acquisition that can't chart much of its own course.
