Pros

- Space age tools and infrastructure - Very smart colleagues, a lot of whom are from a strong academic background (read lots of Phds) - Very open culture. - Superbly architected software. - To be hired, you have to not only be good at what you do, but you have to be a nice person. Once you're hired, being nice and helping your co-workers solve problems is almost explicitly incentivized. - All in all, this is a really nice place to work.

Cons

For a pre-IPO company that has top talent and (I believe) will go from strength to strength, the workplace and perks are a bit spartan.

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.
