Pros

Continuing to be able to WFH alleviates a few stressors with the current market. A solid product that is highly recommended when it is available.

Cons

There has been a huge shift in the culture and care for employees. Care Deeply is supposed to be a value of Meraki, yet there are jokes made about the lack of inventory available to our customers. This has led to sales reps becoming support reps, and crisis management reps, asking (begging) our customers to just wait it out. We are also not being paid commissions in this time, and we are not being given any valid alternatives. The teamwork and culture of community has also taken a huge dive over the past year. ELT is trying to convince us this is best time in career, yet when asked how they will help us battle inflation we are told to hit accelerators on unrealistic goals, some having 100-200% goal increases YoY.

Pros

If you are early in career or transitioning, the NSE role is great way to get your feet wet with networking. You have opportunities to learn more in other IT domains as well but not as intensely. When you are off, you are off. No being on call. There are tons of resources and opportunity for you to train and learn. The benefits are some of the best. If you work near a Meraki office, take the opportunity to go, it is worth it. The San Franciso office is the best. There is plenty of documentation public and internal facing. There is a process for handling cases that have no documentation which is very nice. You are not alone on this job ever.

Cons

Being an NSE day to day can become tedious. Most customers are fine, but you will eventually run into one that is difficult to work with. Everything is based on your stats like talk time and customer satisfaction which can be problematic at times. I left because there were no opportunities to move on to a different role. Cisco proper is pulling in the reigns tightly on Meraki, so the culture is changing not for the better. Being in the call queue all day can be tedious especially when it gets backed up and you do not get your scheduled down time. In the US you will have to work weekends occasionally unless you get someone to cover which is becoming harder and harder due to change in overtime policies.
