Pros
I've been with the company for less than a year, and so far its been everything I've expected. I joined Meraki because I wanted a fast paced, fun, interesting, exciting, high-tech, pre-IPO google-like environment. It hasn't disappointed. The training program is extensive and detailed too. There isn't much politics here and everyone seems to work hard and not create drama. There are a lot of changes, but that goes along with most start ups. Managers seem fair and turnover hasn't been bad.
Cons
Cisco acquisition is definitely something to consider, since Meraki was planning on going public. I’m assuming no more stock options. One good thing is that hopefully the Cisco acquisition will create more opportunities. Also, Cisco has promised to let us operate separately and continue our growth. Parking is pretty bad after 8:30 am. On the flip side, we are moving to near AT&T ball park mid to late next year. It should be easier for public transportation and bikers.
