Pros
* Great working culture - everyone is really nice, respectful of your time, and open to collaborating * Key part of Cisco's business - Meraki is becoming more and more important to Cisco, and continues to grow at a neck breaking pace - it's a very exciting part of the company to be a part of * Opportunities for growth - everyone is very open to letting you manage your own career and helping you find the opportunities that will get you where you want to be
Kontras
* Cisco culture - though everyone can be nice and generally relaxed, it can be challenging to work through the 15-20-30 year Cisco culture where folks can be disengaged, unfocused, and without a bias for action * Unclear path for growth - though everyone is open to helping you find your opportunities, there isn't a lot of guidance on where your career is headed to follow on your role * Leadership sometimes seems out of touch with employees - people ask tough questions during Town Halls, but leadership never seems to give straight or satisfying answers...generally feels avoidant
