Pros
* The people (across all departments) are dynamite. * VP's and C-Level's extend generous company perks, for example: each employee was able to select a Public bike or Brooks Brothers overnight bag (neither were inexpensive) for the 2012 winter holiday, Marc Jacobs laptop bags for the ladies and Rickshaw Bags for the gents in 2011, lots of company shirts and they are well designed unlike like most other company t-shirts, catered lunch every day - every day, Whole Foods style snacks, monthly birthdays are celebrated with everything from cakepops to mochi ice cream, boathouse trip each summer and Tahoe homes in the winter, etc... * Most, if not all holidays are celebrated. Meraki spares no expense when it comes to fun. * Younger Sales team, great place to cut your teeth and make some friends * Promote from within
Cons
* Sales comp plans could use a scrubbing. Ramp quotas and ramp awards are too easily attained and at the expense of the senior sales team who has to work hard that much harder to hit their own quota and the quota that should have been assigned to the newer rep. This model creates unrealistic expectations that quota is easily achieved and creates problems when the newer rep is kicked out of the nest. * Lots of turnover * Inexperienced Sales Management team - first Sales Management position for most which is a result from internal promotions (see Pro bullet point above).
