Great place to work, a totally engineering centered culture - Software Development Engineer Arista Networks Employee Review

Pros

By far, the most advanced / amazing software architecture and internal tools I've ever seen. Great culture, little management overhead, and a ton of really, really smart people. Lots of flexibility in changing projects, lots of opportunities for learning (from SDN to Linux kernel, to switching ASICs, to Networking protocols, to internal tools, you name it...). A total "engineering culture" (mottos "do the right thing" and "quality is more important than time to market" are not lip service here). If you like developing software, you'll really love it. (There's even a SW development office in San Francisco.)

Cons

Initial learning curves longer than usual (but you eventually get there..)

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.
