I applied through a recruiter. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at Meraki (San Francisco, CA) in Mar 2016
Interview
Started with an initial basic phone interview, followed by Skype technical interviews. Each interview went through a networking scenario where something(s) was causing an issue with the network and you had to work through things to find and resolve it. Need to know: how ARP works, DHCP, basic packet contents, DNS, ACL, subnets, among others.
Don't be surprised if the interviewers are late. I don't think a single one of mine started on time.
Eventually I was invited to interview at their HQ. There were 3 interviews there with the support managers, each similar but in a bit more detail than the Skype interviews with of course some standard "why do you want to work for us" questions as well. Meraki paid for flight/hotel for this process which was very nice.
Declined offer in favor of another position in a less expensive area. Salary offered was $75000.

I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Meraki in Nov 2024
Interview
3-4 sessions with different tech support staff and managers over a period of 4 weeks. Overall a very kind behaviour towards the candidate, more like a friendly discussion. They almost instantly informed you for every stage's results and comments of the interviwer(s).
started with an online written interview for the first step pretty simple and straight forward not too hard. I have not got to the next steps yet still awaiting further contact
