Pros

Arista really has a unique flat culture in my opinion. The motto "from engineers to engineers" is amazingly accurate. People are really smart, approachable and it's very easy to get impressed with your peers. The work is challenging and - mainly - you have tons of opportunities to come up with something new/useful to the company who completely embrace this culture.

Cons

* Learning curve is indeed steep. You really need to be comfortable feeling like a newbie for a long time (everyone is very friendly though). * You have to put a lot of effort to learn stuff that only makes sense inside the company.

Pros

Top-tier technology. brilliant engineers. Incredible customer support TAC. The hyperscalers are consuming Arista tech at an alarming rate, and that serves as a great testimonial to the integrity of the technology, but the GTM strategy for Campus expansion is nonexistent.

Cons

Campus/Enterprise & Commercial sales regions are on an island of their own. Zero business development teams, zero marketing, zero branding, zero latest generation tools to prospect, research, and extract data to target your campaigns. If you don't have existing relationships in your market, then you're on your own to prospect, generate interest, connect with decision makers, identify "at bat opportunities" and close new business. The Hyperscaler use-case examples aren't enough to win real enterprise business from Cisco and HPE.
