Meraki TA has been nothing but awesome to work with
Meraki Inside still exists… for now…
Meraki was a bad buy. It never really paid off. And just kept us from developing something better and more modern. It’s just not good for most customers.
I'd be more nervous if I was an EN seller TBH. Those guys have been dead weight for years.
Im sure this will pi-s people off but Meraki sellers were the last lost of actually hungry salespeople working at Cisco. I am SURE other companies are licking their lips for Meraki reps to resign because they are the best of the best. Come take our talent! Cisco doesnt value it at all!
You wish, jealous op. Goodbye is what your manager will say to you, tomorrow, or in a few months from now :)
Our cloud networking competitors are already eating our On prem business
For too long EN AMs and SEs have not spoken about Meraki to customers
The result is we don't lead the conversation and lose business
Prime time for cloud networking competitors to come in here and eat our lunch. No reorg is ever going to make up for products that havent been innovated in years. Stop trying to "Fix" sales and try actually making a decent product? Just a thought...
The Meraki+EN merger is nothing short of a dumpster fire. ELT telling us to have a fast start, yet none of the actual ICs have any idea what their job is supposed to be now. The good ol Meraki days have been long gone for a while. Whoever is left is sure to jump ship once they realize they will be getting unattainable quotas for the 3rd year in a row. Last earnings Chuck predicted 7 back to back down fiscal quarters, so throwing growth on a team that has already been rekt by turbulence seems like a terrible idea. But hey, what do i know, Im just a lowly sales slave.
Agree 100%. Welcome to the combined team. Bring the culture we can use it. Quota may get a little bigger, but keep doing what you are doing.
