Pros

Sales management provides easy access to internal resources that normally is difficult to get to if you are a field rep, not sure how other managers are in other departments, however. Its a relatively small company (~$100m annually), but with huge ambitions. Executive staff was brought in to grow this company 10x. The technology is great. Coming from an engineering background, I can say that Meru's technology differences are leaps and bounds above other companies in the Wi-Fi space.

Cons

Extremely process oriented for sales. Best of Breed technology often is overlooked for companies with offerings that include non wifi equipment. Although the technology is truly beneficial and superior than everyone else in the market, the marketing and brand awareness still seems to lack. Customers are "aware" of Meru, but not aware of their technology and how it solves problems that IT administrators usually brush off.

Pros

Individually, everyone is nice. Its still a small company with a lot of broken processes so making an impact out the gate is easy.

Cons

Mgmt is green. Board is VC based and not the strongest. In order for the company to grow, they need a very experienced exec staff and a stronger board to influence change. A cleaning of house of some of the legacy folks who hinder change is necessary as well. Its very hard to get projects off the ground. Communication is lousy. Ignoring processes is the norm, so the clean up and compliance is a challenge.
