Software Engineer • Former Employee
Santa Clara, California, United States
November 15, 2013
Pros: An up-and-coming network company with a niche product. Will probably IPO soon.
Cons: No BS culture. Most employees are ex-Cisco/ex-Juniper/etc. Not so many young engineers, although they are trying to recruit more new grads.
5.0
A nice place to work at
Software Engineer • Current Employee
Paris, France
June 8, 2022
Pros: Freedom to work on what you want.
Interesting challenges.
Good ambiance.
Cons: You can get stuck in maintenance hell if you are not proactive in picking your projects and what you work on.
Need strict work/life boundaries to not get bothered outside of work hours. Nothing inherently wrong with Arista itself, but you tend to work with people across many timezones, and they're not always aware of your own work hours.
