Business Outlook
Pros
Arista is growing really quickly, which means there are always something new interesting problems to solve. The engineering team is very good, and management is committed to solving problems the right way (no quick hacks to get a feature out, use automation for building and testing). There is very minimal management, and engineers are encouraged to lead/complete projects their own projects.
Cons
Quick growth means Arista has lost most of its start-up feel, as much as management is fighting that. There is some tendency to see engineering as a sunk cost, and everything else as expensive.
