Software Engineer Interview Experience - Bengaluru, India
Process
I interviewed in-person using a laptop and a mirrored screen session so the interviewer could view what I was coding. There were three coding questions and two aptitude/coding questions.
The interviewer did not ask about my background, specialization, etc., and instead started with his pre-decided questions.
After this, the interviewer left, and no one attended to me for about an hour. When I stepped out of the interview room and spoke to HR, he said he would send someone in five minutes. I waited another half hour before I was told I did not make it to the next round.
This is highly insensitive and irresponsible of the company to make an interviewee wait for 1.5 hours in an interview room.

Arista Networks Work Experiences
- 5.0Great place to workSoftware Engineer • Former EmployeeBengaluru, Karnataka, IndiaJuly 8, 2021Pros: Good management and work-life balance. Stress level is low.Cons: There are no cons in working here.
- 1.0No Hikes, Average BonusSoftware Engineer • Current EmployeeBengaluru, Karnataka, IndiaJune 30, 2019Pros: Work-life balance is okay, but they don't encourage WFH. Only managers can take it on their own will.Cons: No hike. Past 5 years, they gave just 1 hike in 2016. I am not alone; there are many others like me. A review, which is a performance review system, happens twice a year, but you don't get to know your "well" [likely intended to be 'worth' or 'rating']. Bonus is also average. Earlier, they used to give a good bonus, but they are giving just peanuts now. They keep hiring and make the existing employees suffer with no hikes.
- 2.0Toxic culture in IndiaSoftware Engineer • Current EmployeeBengaluru, Karnataka, IndiaDecember 11, 2020Pros: Some of the brightest minds - charred due to toxic company culture.Cons: 1. Favouritism and sycophancy are at their peak in Arista, India. You would grow only if you do "chaplusi" of an exec. 2. There is no professional growth or designation upgrade for mid-senior level folks. 3. It is only good for freshers/juniors to use as a stepping stone. 4. The nature of work, salary, and perks are mediocre. You get to work only on maintenance, bug fixing in old products, and age-old proprietary tools. 5. HR is frugal, just like the rest of Arista, India.
