For Cisco Meraki team members, the company’s core values underscore a special culture. “‘Be brave’ allows us to question the status quo,” said Jayanthi Srinivasan, a product leader. Meanwhile, “Everybody in” resonates with Product Manager Korey Rebello. “We strive to break down silos across the company, leading to greater employee development on both a personal and professional level,” said Rebello. With network solutions for hundreds of thousands of customers and millions of active devices, having that team support is key. “If you come to Meraki with a ‘can-do’ attitude, the sky’s the limit. You will be supported by the excellent team around you and awed by the technology innovations you will be part of,” Srinivasan said.

Overseeing Cisco’s wireless and systems manager portfolios, Jayanthi Srinivasan said her role comes with challenges — and with that comes fulfillment. “The variety keeps me both challenged and learning at all times,” Srinivasan said. Currently, one big opportunity comes in the shape of developing a team that bridges wireless cloud and non-cloud products. For Srinivasan, breaking that new ground is professionally thrilling. “This is a huge opportunity to make an enormous impact on the industry as well as the customers,” she said.

With a nod to the Meraki core value ‘Everybody in,’ Korey Rebello notes that this applies not only to a silo-free work environment that aids in career development, but it also applies to the work itself. “It’s reflected in how we develop and release products and features,” he said. “We seek feedback from a wide range of teams and customer profiles when designing and building new features to ensure they will have the greatest impact upon delivery.” From engineering to sales and now on the product team, Rebello’s own career path is representative of the cross-functional nature of the team.

Forming a nucleus through culture-building activities
Mary Piontkowski’s team helps shape Meraki products, but they also find time for bonding activities like speed networking and employee spotlight presentations. Piontkowski is especially fond of the team’s “monthly gratitude sessions.” These sessions were formed organically and allow everyone the chance to contribute to a values-led culture, increase engagement and promote happiness at work. “Activities like this, where we share genuine thanks and appreciation for one another, help create a safe and warm team dynamic. We practice kindness and learn so much about each other as people,” she said.
