Pros
- Lots of room for diversity. A large number of active, employee run ERO groups and CSR campaigns with generous funding for events and awareness, as well as dedicated time off for volunteering - Abundant opportunity for growth via a myriad of programs and education schemes, free lectures, seminars and mentor program
Cons
- The pandemic has reduced the culture to nothing. Key players that drove enthusiasm during Meraki's growth period have all resigned due to lack of opportunity and recognition. Focus has shifted from cultivating passion to overcomplicated bureaucracy which bears no fruit. - The extreme turnover in middle and upper management (every sales director and manager in the Asia Pac region is "new") has left entire teams unsure of what their job actually is, while business critical teams struggle for headcount and resources. - Middle management is confused and overworked with very little direction due to rotating doors at the upper management level. - Pay is severely below market average while job progression opportunities are non existent. - Cisco continues to absorb defining characteristics of Meraki into their core product. It won't be long before Meraki folds into Cisco completely
