Pros

Cisco looks great on your resume. Free lunch. Free Snacks. Nice office.

Cons

Sales management is primarily men and the culture reflects that. Offensive language on the sales floor can be heard on a daily basis, with little to no consequence. Thankfully there are a few managers who are making an effort to change this. There are know examples of leaders with a history of abusive language on the sales floor, multiple infractions with HR, romantic interactions with subordinates, open tasteless comments in front of the global sales team yet there are never repercussions. Many women on the sales floor have been impacted by this and only share their feelings in secrecy.

Pros

Really good culture where if you work hard you can expect to be rewarded. There are a ton of social events that happen meaning everyone mixes with one another in our EMEAR office in london. Catered lunches, free snack stations and an awesome games room - there are no real 'rules' that need to be adhered to. You are responsible for your target and getting there, if you need support it is readily available. The technology itself is disruptive and changing the marketplace - this fast paced office can really get you excited - in all honesty if I am not laughing within ten minutes of arriving at work I am surprised.

Cons

The work can be tiring as you reach the end of quarters and can sometimes take over - switching off is encouraged but can be hard to achieve in reality. My main gripe is that when we are working out of hours on company stuff (customer meetings/partner events) that the start time of 8am is still enforced. Ideally I would like to a some flexibility around this however it is a minor issue.

Pros

- Amazing office atmosphere, you feel like you have a work family. - Great support structure. I've made use of loads of benefits and support tools (gym membership, counselling service, employee discount scheme) All of which is there to make your life easier. - The only pressure I feel is what I put on myself to pay back a great company to work for. All feedback from management is positive and aimed at improving how you achieve your goals. Meraki is all about success and improvement. - You're actively encouraged to try new ways of working and feedback results with the wider team. - Management recognise hard work and constantly think of new ways they can reward your efforts. I've tried to keep my comments away from materialistic things but if you want to know, the office is incredible (people ask to view the office for ideas to use in their own) so it's a great place to come to work everyday. There are snacks everywhere as well as a fully stocked kitchen you can use to make breakfast, healthy food as well! Not just junk. Imagine the masterchef kitchen but at work. Lunch is provided daily by excellent caterers. The games room is awesome! There's a pool table, ping pong table, PS4, Wii, Virtual reality computer and a screen most cinemas would be proud to have. If you're lucky enough to work here you might find the secret room as well!

Cons

- Meraki is a full on place to work. You have to embrace it and if you don't I can imagine it would be overwhelming. - Some systems are a mixture of new Meraki and old Cisco, which can be challenging and frustrating to use. - The natural career path at Meraki is from inside sales rep to field rep or team manager. Only a handful of people have become managers (mainly due to the size of the company and roles becoming available) only a few inside reps have made it to field reps and all have been to work with managed channel partners. It seems this is a big jump to make and one that's not clearly supported with training.
