Pros

Two stars for great products and support.

Cons

Sales comp plan is not good and you have to fight to get paid commissions Sales turnover is high it's a revolving door in some regions No commitment to build the channel partners micromanage their margins Limited marketing absolutely no sales leads Micromanage discounts to customers with an iron fist Company does not value good sales people use them and lose them approach Sales leadership has been around way too long and is out of touch If you don't have a cloud titan or a high frequency trading account you will most likely struggle to make money

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.
