Pros

Outstanding team, Excellent work culture, can do attitude. This has by far, the most advanced software development environment among the networking companies. The tools are a generation ahead. Engineers are allowed to run with their work. No politics. The top engineering management is filled with some of the smartest engineers in the valley. Everyone is very helpful. And you have a very good work-lie balance. And since the tools are very good, there is no goop code to write. You can just focus on the design and write your code, without getting burdened with porting your code to various branches etc. And the best thing is the automated test infrastructure. There is no separate test team - the developers are responsible for writing all the tests. I wish I had joined such a company when I was fresh out of school. But better late than never :-) All in all, a very good place to work at. There is a lot of growth ahead for this company.

Cons

Can't think of any Cons.

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.
