Good pay, disappointing management and not much fun for people looking for a true sales role
Pros
Remuneration and benefits are very competitive and attractive, and if you last two years, the company has a strong preference of promoting from within. A good place for young people early on in their careers.
Cons
Success is highly dependent on the region assigned, with South Europe having to work much harder to achieve less than the North and the UK. Sales is actually more like administration, simply processing orders and confirming applicable discounts, and there is really only a single product to sell (the Meraki dashboard), which makes for monotonous work after the first few months. Internal conflicts with Cisco staff, who often view Meraki as competitors rather than partners, is frustrating and detrimental to Meraki's sales. Managers view workers dispassionately, you really have the feeling you are just a number, and decisions are made very quickly, with people changing roles constantly. Employee turnover is incredibly high, with people leaving every month. Every year there is a completely new team.
