“At Meraki, we embrace the value of ‘Be Brave,’ which fosters a culture that celebrates courage. “Our leaders motivate us to take risks, tackle challenges head-on, and explore innovative ideas. We’re empowered to experiment, test new concepts, and learn from mistakes or failures. This autonomy enables us to push boundaries, refine strategies, and ultimately uncover what leads to success. The culture of bravery at Meraki is unique and distinguished from other company cultures I’ve experienced. Everyone on the Meraki engineering team is friendly, caring, and collaborative. We all care about the products and each other. “I love the culture of the engineering team at Meraki. I am comfortable openly sharing my opinions, and I feel seen, heard, and valued for who I am. Testing software is engaging, complex, and multi-faceted. I find great satisfaction in networking, debugging, and troubleshooting. As an engineer, I’m constantly considering factors like functionality, performance, and security. It’s exciting to understand the vast range of Meraki devices and to determine the application’s performance. I thoroughly enjoy and embrace these aspects of my work. “Meraki is a great company for various reasons. Since Meraki is a tech giant, engineers are positioned to make a significant impact on a large scale. Additionally, Meraki implements the most cutting-edge technology and trains engineers on the latest advancements. By learning and using the newest technology, we’re not only empowered to expand our skills, we’re also equipped to build industry-leading products for our customers. Another distinguishing feature of Meraki engineering is the versatile Meraki dashboard, which is unique because it accommodates multi-platform devices and holds the potential to integrate all devices, including Cisco products, onto a unified platform in the future.” — Syamala Swarna, QA (Quality Assurance) Automation Engineer on the Meraki Switch Team, Bangalore, India Read Syamala’s full interview ⬇️ http://cs.co/60459YfG7 #WeAreCisco #WomenInTech

The 10x engineer is REAL. We've all heard of the elusive and divisive "10x engineer" – a legend in tech circles, rarely spotted in the wild (or in our virtual Gather office), able to do a herculean amount of work compared to everyone else. But as Gergely Orosz aptly notes (https://lnkd.in/dQdDFUwx), the "10x" label can mask less than ideal traits: 🚩 Rapidly producing low-quality code 🚩 Chasing only shiny projects, leaving when the novelty fades 🚩 Taking credit at the expense of team contributions These aren't 10x engineers. The truly exceptional engineers I've met share a common trait: focus on impact. It's not about output, it's about outcomes. At Koala, we believe in "hiring for slope" – a principle my co-founder Tido Carriero often talks about. We're not just looking for 10x achievements, we're looking for engineers who are: 🔹 hungry to learn and grow  🔹 driven to create meaningful impact 🔹 focused on solving real customer pains If this resonates… then we'd love to chat. We're currently hiring engineers across the US and Brazil (https://lnkd.in/eUpECNZj) #hiring #recruiting #engineering

Here is why you should hire T-Shaped engineers to get massive success and growth of your Enterprise & Upcoming engineers should be aware of this. A "T-Shape" engineer is someone who is extremely good in one domain maybe software development, solution architecture, product engineering, design, cybersecurity etc but along with that he also possess vision and good understanding of cross functional roles like business, product scaling, user acquisitions, prompt engineering, leadership and growth hacks and other as compared to "I-Shape" engineer who is expert and knowledgeable in one domain which have 3 top benefits 1. Better Decision Making: These types of engineer has enhanced decision making capabilities because they not only consider their single domain perspective but also overall vision of the business and various aspects of it 2. Cross Functional Support: T-shape engineers are amazing resource which are capable of supporting and leading cross functional teams as well which ultimately making them perfect fit for upper division roles 3. Efficient Scaling & Growth: Hiring T-shape engineers helps especially startups but also Enterprises to stay lean and stay on the track for growth as well. Instead of hiring several I-shape engineers few T-shape engineers gets the job done Its now crucial for every engineers to up-skill themselves to become T-shape engineer, besides AI revolution is already around the corner and the one who are rigid on the domains and don't have knowledge of prompt engineering, business, growth and scalability will be grave danger to become obsolete

Throughout my career, I’ve realized that the best engineers aren’t just those with technical skills—they’re the ones who approach life with a passion for problem-solving. That’s why, when hiring, I ask a simple question: Can you tell me about 5 real-life problems you’ve faced and how you solved them? I believe that if you can think critically and tackle challenges head-on, you’ll thrive in any engineering role. This is my only requirement. If you’re someone who loves solving problems, I’d love to chat.

👨💻 Engineer: "This task? Should be done in an hour, max." 👨💼 Manager, excited: "Awesome! We can finish early today!" ⏳ 5 hours later... 👨💻 Engineer, sipping his third coffee: *Mutters to self* "Why on earth is this still broken?" 📞 Manager checks in: "Hey, how's it going? All set?" 👨💻 Engineer, with forced optimism: "Almost... just polishing a few things." ⏳ Midnight hits... 👨💻 Engineer, surrounded by empty coffee cups, rubbing tired eyes: "It was supposed to be an hour... now I’m out here debugging like it's a national emergency." 😵💫 Hungry and half asleep, he thinks: "Maybe I should just change careers and open a chai tapri... at least chai doesn’t throw null pointer exceptions." 🚨 Moral of the story? When you think "quick fix," think again. Estimate wisely, and remember that "one hour" is code for "maybe by next morning." 💡 Have your own midnight code nightmare?

I sent out a post last week asking what were the most important roles on a Semiconductor Construction Project. While everyone got their say in, the most interesting finding was the number of likes for 'Relationship Managers', While not being a defined position on our projects, it stood out based on the feedback (Likes). We all know that all of the other roles are also very important , but where did this new role come from? So question for this week, do you agree and do you have examples of this? Answers as comments please and if you agree with the comment, press the like button. #webuildfabs

To #degree or not to degree? That is the question. Personally I feel for a purely technical role, I don't know that a degree is needed or worth it. I know many organizations don't really care in today's landscapes for certain roles. But what about #Network #Automation roles? A lot of these roles seem to be filled with experienced #software #engineers who know #networking or network engineers who learned software engineering. For those who are network engineers first looking to move into an network automation (development) position, is a software engineering degree useful or is it more important to display portfolio projects? What do the top companies who embrace network automation in this industry actually care about when hiring for these roles? Comment your thoughts below.
