Pluspunten

Great pay, and some really good benefits - for example, I get paid days off to volunteer in the community, and I work from home with a flexible schedule. Morale in the team I work on is high - people like working here. We're getting stuff done and having fun doing it. I feel empowered to make change if I see it needs to be done. We change our process if it's not working for us. I feel respected and I respect my colleagues. I like my manager and really the whole management team is fantastic. They communicate well, helping the rest of the company understand priorities & trends we need to care about. They don't blindly follow the latest management fads, instead they take a human approach. It is refreshing, I don't feel like a number on a spreadsheet. The code is in good shape, despite what some other comments have said. I have been doing this for a while and my tolerance for weirdness is probably higher than some. The code my team works on is very well tested and documented, and not extremely difficult to jump into as a new hire. The company is very remote friendly and I haven't had any problems in that regard, it's been smooth sailing. No surprise, it's a global company after all. Last thing - the other engineers. I have met many talented, experienced engineers here and it has been truly humbling. Because Meraki is part of the Cisco umbrella, there are a ton of smart people here.

Minpunten

It's a mature application with tons of customers and many features, and uptime is critical. You have to code slowly and thoughtfully, and test thoroughly. Luckily almost all the foot-guns are covered by automated tests to keep you from doing something bad on accident.

Pluspunten

If you are early in career or transitioning, the NSE role is great way to get your feet wet with networking. You have opportunities to learn more in other IT domains as well but not as intensely. When you are off, you are off. No being on call. There are tons of resources and opportunity for you to train and learn. The benefits are some of the best. If you work near a Meraki office, take the opportunity to go, it is worth it. The San Franciso office is the best. There is plenty of documentation public and internal facing. There is a process for handling cases that have no documentation which is very nice. You are not alone on this job ever.

Minpunten

Being an NSE day to day can become tedious. Most customers are fine, but you will eventually run into one that is difficult to work with. Everything is based on your stats like talk time and customer satisfaction which can be problematic at times. I left because there were no opportunities to move on to a different role. Cisco proper is pulling in the reigns tightly on Meraki, so the culture is changing not for the better. Being in the call queue all day can be tedious especially when it gets backed up and you do not get your scheduled down time. In the US you will have to work weekends occasionally unless you get someone to cover which is becoming harder and harder due to change in overtime policies.
