New year, new job: Cisco Meraki

tuleeoh

Hi all, just wanted to share that I recently landed my first job out of college at Cisco Meraki in SF!!! I'm loving Meraki's products portfolio, environment, and the benefits/perks from what I've learned thus far from the exhaustive interview process I had to go through. I'll be joining in as a Network Support Engineer in January and I'm super excited to start this new chapter of my life... I don't have any real-world experience in a Network Support role (I mean any real-world experience at all other than 2yrs in help desk at my university) and was wondering what you guys think I should be doing to best prepare to start this position and kick ass?!

Niceeeee... I visited their corporate office a couple of months ago. That corporate office is pretty sweet. You can't beat that view. I hope you enjoy all the free catered lunch.

xnx

Lucky you... I'd kill (literally) to be given an opportunity like that.

Currently have a application pending with a UK service provider so i'll see where that goes..

Congrats! I was contacted by one of their HR people via LinkedIn a while ago but unfortunately relocating is a deal breaker..I'd love to move out there. Best of luck!

Congrats. I have a few friends that work there and and they said you'll definitely learn a lot working there. Just be weary of burning out. Chances are that since you made it through their interview process you'll be just fine.. Good luck!

Hi all,

Hope someone can help with Meraki. I had my phone interview and waiting to hear back if it will progress to face to face interview. I looked at tuleeoh comments who has no work experience and I got some more hope. I have lots of tech support background but 2 years as junior network engineer. I know my layer 2 and wireless but I'm a junior and I guess cisco is cisco means they may expect you don't know everything but want you to be sharp/think on your toes and think some solution with only the information they give you and what you already know. I do have examples from work experience but im sure there are more experienced candiates out there.

I'm really keen in working for them and motivation/thirst to learn is a given and is flowing unlimited but I don't know what to do and where to focus my preparation. Any help would be greatly appreciated
