Pros

some perks from Cisco, but so what, considering the cons, it is not worth it.

Cons

This company is dysfunctional. Managers are like zombies reciting scripts from HR, and about "leadership", "proactive", etc, etc. They have no heart and no soul. This company is hypocritical. Just look at the feedback from Meraki itself, when somebody posted a negative feedback about the company, they wrote as a response: "Thank you for sharing your feedback. Our goal is for every Merakian to have a positive work experience, and we were sorry to hear you are having a difficult time." So blame the other person having a difficult time, and not look at its own fault. Avoid this company at all costs.

Pros

There are literally none, that is not an exaggeration. Anything mildly beneficial comes from Cisco, not meraki.

Cons

People being allowed to fail upwards, blatant misogyny, a disgusting sense of entitlement (That not absolutely not warranted by Engineering, why don't you get IPV6 running and then we can act like you're somewhat worth it. At the end of the day though, we have a very weak Eng team) from *not only* engineering, but also sales. It's a storm of snowflakes.

Pros

There's plenty of free food and snacks plus lots of events (baseball game, etc). The problems that we're solving for our customers are interesting and substantial.

Cons

The codebase is much older than I thought it would be and it's hard to understand how any given piece fits into the whole picture. There's a bit of every framework created in the last 15 years (jquery, angular, backbone, react, redux). Comments are sparse with some being horribly outdated. Everytime I ask someone about why this is the case, it's been shrugged off as "tech debt/a cost of doing business". There are also a ton of distractions around the office that make it hard to focus sometimes. Plus, when you ask folks for help, they tell you they're busy and ask you to find someone else, except that they end up turning around to shop on Amazon or have a loud off-topic conversation.
