Candidatei-me por meio de recrutador(a). O processo levou 2 semanas. Fui entrevistado pela Meraki (San Francisco, CA) em mai. de 2013
Entrevista
It started with a 30 minute phone screen interview, then within a few days, they invited me back for a face-to-face interview. That was scheduled a week later. I came in for 3-4 hours and met with 3 managers, and one director. They each interviewed on a specific topic. For example, one manager interviewed me based on culture-fit, the next on technical knowledge, etc. They had an offer on the table within a few days after my face-to-face interview. I found them to be extremely punctual, prompt and efficient. The inside recruiter also did a great job of selling me on Meraki as a company, and their products, as I had other higher salary offers in front of me, and I still chose Meraki because she sold me on the future and opportunities at Meraki.

Fiz uma entrevista na empresa Meraki (Londres, Inglaterra).
Entrevista
Got a first call from an HR representative after my submission on Linkedin. Then my second call was with a manager that asked me about my previous experiences. Unfortunately there was no follow up on that.
efficient, effective, fair -- the recruiters prepped you accordingly and really want you to succeed. the managers are knowledgable and eager to answer your questions. I was impressed with Cisco Meraki compared to other large organizations.

Overall the process was pleasant and fair.
A recruiter from Meraki reached out via LinkedIn. We had a 30 minute initial phone screen. Pretty standard tell me about yourself questions.
A day later I was asked to do a 30 minute phone interview with a sales manager.
During the sales manager interview, a team lead ran the call instead. A green flag that there is room to grow here. They asked pretty standard questions as well. They are really big on culture or at least they say they are. I was told to be ready to talk about the products during this interview, but they never asked. Be ready to talk about your sales experience and current quota.
They move fast - a day later I was asked to come in for a 2-hour four part interview.
By now, the recruiter has sent you an email containing literally hours of videos and links about the company to research before the interview. Nice that they set you up for success, but it’s a lot of information to digest (especially how quickly they move through interviews). Know the 6 products, their competitors, and their value prop. Also, know you’re own sales numbers - very specific. You can bring notes to the interview.
They show you around the office - cool space. Not really a west loop location like they advertise. Kind of hard to get to actually.
The 4 interviews aren’t bad if you prep for it. Be ready to talk about everything in detail. You can’t fake the interview - especially the product knowledge.
I have a neutral outlook because I was told I would know right away, but it took them a week to reach out and tell me they’re going in another direction. I was told my underwhelming theme was lack of passion for, “why Meraki”. I was told I nailed everything else so that was interesting feedback.
They have a very solid product line. But, it seems like a shove it down your throat culture. It’s an 8-5. No work from home. Although, it does seem like they have solid training and upward mobility if you work for it.
