Pros

- None so far - If you don't want to work, there is lot of people in the same boat

Cons

- Seniors in the company are relaxing after IPO. Most people with 4 years or more work experience at Arista don't have motivation because the company has not given salary hike. Good people are in the process of quitting or have already quit. - The internal performance review is just an eye wash. No transparency in the rating. - As a newcomer in the company your performance rating cannot be better than an existing employees and your managers will make sure that a newcomer will never get rated high - Directors in the company are becoming individual contributor to avoid confrontation with management. Sadly, they are too lazy or in some cases incapable of finding another job - In India Office, newly promoted managers are neither experienced enough to be managers nor are good leaders to lead the team. Promoted just based on how well they managed food at some internal company events
