      Company that takes advantage of employees

      Functional lead
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      It was a growing company. I dont know now. I have worked with a lot of good and smart people in this company.

      Cons

      This management sucks! They will see if the employee has capability or not, and take advantage of that employee. Push that employee to work until early hours in the next morning. When you leave the company there will be no thank you, but the manager will put all the blame on you, instead of evaluating oneself if there is an improvement she needs to make. Lots of politics.

      Worst professional experience of my career

      Regional sales manager
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Don’t have any to mention

      Cons

      Recruited as a regional sales manager and told my position was eliminated after 4 months with no explanation. No negative reviews or told to change anything. Management won’t return phone calls and can only communicate with HR. HR doesn’t even respond in a timely manner . One month severance. Would stay far away from this company. Terrible experience. Never been treated so poorly.

      Good place to work - but undergoing "Growing Pains"

      Software engineer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      - Flat organization chart. If you're not a Manager/Director, you're an Engineer. There is not as much rank-pulling here compared to other companies I've been to - Pay is actually not bad, contrary to what some people say (for US offices, at least) The "secret" here is that a large chunk of your income comes from RSU's which are awarded based on your performance in the first year or two - Most people are very smart, motivated, and helpful - The CTO and Engineering VP's are true engineers, and are intelligent people. - Good work-life balance. Generally, there is no crunch and you can work at your own pace - of course, there are exceptions for certain strategically important projects with timelines set by external factors, but these are few - Company culture has remained good for the above reasons (but more on that later)

      Cons

      - Tools are slow and occasionally not stable, and have not scaled well with company growth. Instead of addressing problems in existing tools, the tools team tends to create new tools and meta-tools to partially work around those problems. Bugs in tools often go unfixed in favor of new development as well. - Lack of documentation. Most knowledge seems to be transferred via word of mouth, and on-boarding new people is longer than it needs to be. This is becoming especially painful with more people joining the company, and with everyone working from home. - Arista uses a proprietary programming language (learning which is a skill that won't transfer to anywhere else), and is also poorly documented
