Arista Networks Work Experiences
4.0
Very good learning experience. I got to work with a lot of development tools
Software Developer • Former Employee

Pros: very realistic experience. You are part of the code development from the get-go. They do not try to isolate you with toy projects. You work with the main line of code from the beginning and contribute to their solutions. As realistic a work experience as I think it gets.
Cons: Sometimes your mentors will not have enough time to give you instructions on what to do next or the specifics of what to do. You have to figure it out on your own.
