Pros

- Meraki really cares about their employees, which has been the case both in the office but also throughout the pandemic. Meraki has done a lot to make WFH pleasant and possible. - Good onboarding and ongoing training throughout your career at Meraki. If there is anything you want to learn/do, you most likely can. - Very good products, which makes them easier to sell, and fun to learn about. - Good people, caring managers, fun and fast paced work environment

Cons

- No yearly pay review, ie. increase in salary is based on over achieving, which can be very hard in certain territories. - No clear structure on promotions, and if youre doing a great job, promotions are still very limited, which means people are "forced" to move to Cisco, if they want to stay within the company. - Salary below market rate.

Thanks for the feedback! We appreciate hearing about your experience with Meraki. We completely agree about how much Meraki cares about our employees—the actions you describe are a true testament to our company values. The well-being and development of our employees is a major priority for us. Of course, the quality of our team makes that easy to achieve: Merakians are some of the best you’ll ever meet. (Yes, we’re biased, but we’ve heard that same sentiment repeatedly over the years.) The opportunity to move to Cisco is another way we support our people. The strength of our parent company’s resources combined with our own unique culture means we can offer career options while maintaining a nurturing workplace. Regarding compensation, this is an important part of our employee offer package and we’re continuously evaluating data to make sure we’re offering market rate. If you have any questions, please reach out to your People & Communities partner. Thanks again for sharing your thoughts! Feedback helps us as we work to make Meraki a great place for everyone.

Pros

* Great product/technology * Fantastic support and flexibility during Covid-19 * Big growth and good results for all teams * Good culture

Cons

* Cisco influence is clear and is starting to feel more corporate and political * resistence to work from home after Covid-19 * little career opportunities * little pay reviews * Uneven manager quality. I had a fantastic manager but it’s a shame that other teams don’t have that experience

Pros

Meraki has been one of the best places I've worked at - if you are someone beginning your career, this is a great place to begin. They really outline your career growth and help mentor you to build your skills - but getting promoted is another thing (see Cons). They try hard to integrate you with other teams and respect engineers that take initiative on projects, as they do operate with the feeling of a startup but backed by a large company.

Cons

It can be difficult to move up the career ladder, and you really need to fight for your promotions in order to feel validated for your work.
