      Horrendous Place to work as a Network Support Engineer

      Network support engineer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      - No Pros in this job. - So called "free food" is not a pro as they basically pay bare minimum salary to afford basic necessities in life.

      Cons

      - No career growth, all you will learn in this job is taking packet captures. - Pay is garbage for bay area. You CANNOT afford a studio apartment in less than one hour from the office. People here get raises when they get there H1b visa(as law required them to pay a certain wage) as these people take advantage of the immigrant labor and pay them garbage money to work in Bay area. - Product has only one thing going for it, simplicity. Your skill sets as Network Engineer are non-existent. - Only work for this company if you are currently flipping burgers and need an entry level job in IT.

      Terrible systems and inefficient teams

      Software engineer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Find the right team and you can get by doing very little real work.

      Cons

      Some teams don't care about things that happen outside their team (and will happily throw you under the bus when they asked you to do something yet gave you unreasonable deadlines to actually do it). Ironically, "cross team collaboration" was listed internally as the worst performing area within Engineering. Plenty of internal "marketing" about how good Cisco is doing for its employees (with superfluous "AMAs") yet they often don't listen to complaints submitted (or even read Glassdoor).

      Working at Meraki during the Covid-19 pandemic

      Anonymous employee
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Meraki has shown up in the best way during this emergency time. The company hasn't done a lot of bragging about the ways that they have supported people, so I'm going to do the bragging for them. First with their employees. We received the message to mandatory work from home a full week before SF county announced shelter. Leadership has been very supportive and we've been told many times to prioritize family and well-being. Overall, managers seem to be flexible with the staff, knowing that people have kids and other responsibilities. My manager specifically has been overly flexible knowing that I have a young kid at home and can't work my normal 8 hours. With our vendors and suppliers and the community, Meraki is making sure they are still being paid even though offices are closed. The goal is to make sure all the companies that support us are still around when we recover. We are donating meals to nonprofits and hospitals. Networking equipment was also sent to hospitals. With our customers, special arrangements are being made on licenses and renewals too. Lastly, our leaders have been pretty transparent. We had an AMA a few days ago and it seemed like no topic was off limits.

      Cons

      This is more of a con on Covid-19 but things are changing so fast that it's hard to keep up. There are probably 4 emails a week from Cisco, Meraki, HR, or others about a change to some process because of what's happening. I know people are working hard on comms.
