Pros

The products are cool and the work you ultimately end up doing has impact with customers.

Cons

Managers and executives constantly stress "collaboration across teams" but most teams seem to only be responsive when convenient. The teams will happily communicate with you when they stand to benefit but all of a sudden have "higher priorities" when you need their help. The other teams "care" in the "fake" sense of caring. The earlier years were much more productive and fruitful. As we've grown, we haven't quite adapted and it's clear that there are lots of growing pains across the organization. Politics is at an all-time high with the final fiscal quarter coming up (as it always seems to be this time of year). Those who have suggestions for improvement are shot down in favor of features that "win the next big deal" even when piling on tech debt.

Pros

-Nice benefits, lunch -Great teams you hire for, very close knit community

Cons

Unequal treatment throughout the Recruiting organization, desperately needs to hire Director of TA to standardize practices within the 4 orgs. Major inequality within departments: -Pay: huge disparities in departments- Eng & Sales get paid most closely to market value -Treatment/ flexibility: Some managers/departments are very trusting and relaxed, others you should stay away from (ask about retention & attrition when interviewing). Some teams have flexibility to work from home/ remote, while others there is no such thing -Career growth: all orgs seem to struggle with providing guidance and challenging IC in their next steps Overall, you could be the most average person and get a job here. They don't believe in firing people, which is a benefit for under-achievers or pot-stirrers.

Pros

Can’t think of many pros

Cons

Going back and forth trying to be Cisco or Meraki isn’t working. Pick one Amount of culture talk and pumping return to office isn’t healthy. Execs can’t even name the values, let alone give examples of how they’ve used them. It’s a yes culture, if you think differently or even voice a opinion that is not in line you’ll be bullied by managers. The amount of useless middle managers is amazing, and they bully workers daily and keep getting promoted because of the inside track with execs. The color of success is white, and they get a pass for bullying new employees. Meraki is just bunch of cisco expats, few good most in it for promotions and doing rotations to get bigger titles at cisco.
