      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Meraki (San Francisco, CA) in Feb 2016

      Interview

      I had a bunch of interviews for a few different CSE Positions within Meraki. Be prepared to answer a bunch of questions on routing protocols. Even though some of these protocols are not even supported by their solution. I had quite a few interviews that went very well. The last one was a disaster. The Interviewer was 10 minutes late to the call and was clearly distracted by something else going on. That being said it clearly wasn't my best interview performance either, but come on, I blocked an hour out of my day, the least you can do is give the candidate your undivided attention. One other thing. Of the 6 interviews I took, and was told to make sure I was at a video enabled computer for the WebEx. Not ONCE did the Meraki employee turn their camera on.

      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Meraki (Bogota, Cundinamarca) in May 2021

      Interview

      Process quite quite long and some times it can seem exhausted to you due to you need to take time to prepare interviews and some long silences between stages. (may be 15 or 20 days) 1. Interview with HR via webex, Q&A about your profile and certification 2. Tech interview with a CSE (Q&A about L2/L3/L4 and L7 protocols. Expect questions about Wireless, R&S, Security, MPLS, BGP, OSPF desging and your profile 3. HM interview, play role questions 4. 2x WWD play role questions 5. Product manager inteview, asking about your previous experience with goverment sector and enterprise 6. HM again, play role questions,discussiong design scenarios and designing with meraki products 7. .. total silence.... you send ping to HM and they did not answer 8. Finally you received an email candidate survey from greenhouse to fill some questions (In this part, you still don't know if you are IN or you're OUT, but reading greenhouse docs, they say candidate receive the candidate survey if he/she is OUT 9. No feedback, HR went ghost afterwards, neither and email saying thanks for applying. Generally speaking all panelist were very polite and the usually did questions to test your whole know-how. CONS: If you are in final stages and don't passed, you would expect al least an email saying "thanks for applying but you were not choosed" or something like that. But from my point it's very dissapointing if you asked to HR for a follow-up or feedback, and they didn't getting any response Very dissapointed from the process, as HRs are working (supposedly) for a huge company like Cisco with top talented people, and they should show at least some respect and not lack of courtesy with the group of candidates. It just take some seconds (may be milliseconds if they have a template) to send an email and the candidate doesn't stay in Limbo and probably loosing another opportunities with other companies just for waiting a possible next stage.

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at Meraki in Oct 2017

      Interview

      Initial short recruiter call followed by 1-hour long tech screen. The tech call was VERY VERY in-depth on core route/switch technologies, with a little wireless and security peppered in. The tech screener was a 2x CCIE and said he had been given pre-written questions.
