Pros

It's a good company to start out in and gives a broad range of experience in different areas since you have to wear multiple hats; free snacks on every floor; Flexible Time Off policy. Friendly employees.

Cons

No 401K matching, very low salaries, no on-boarding training (not even for new college grads), out-of-pocket medicare, no team spirit built amongst employees...the only team spirit I see is probably amongst the founders and top-management themselves and it is not communicated throughout the company. No company-sponsored team lunches. No team lunches even if we had to spend our own money. No exciting internship perks. No culture of appreciation and rewards.

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.
