Pros: Well-documented and nicely built infra for engineers to be more productive.

Cons: Strictly hybrid. Must be present in the base location.

Pros: Not great, but overall good team.

Cons: Nothing to share. Average experience.

Pros: There are some, but believe me, you won't care.

Cons: This is going to be long so sit tight! Poor Compensation: Only a select few, usually long-time employees and higher-ups, receive decent hikes. The rest of people struggle financially despite hard work. Lack of Appreciation: Hard work isn't acknowledged or rewarded. Those who play politics and cozy up to management seem to get ahead. Especially the old timers here; their word is taken as prophecy from gods. If you work with an old timer on a project and he doesn't like you or forms an opinion about you, you are completely screwed. Managers, especially in the PI routing Bangalore team, will literally throw you under the bus. Incompetent Management: Many managers lack proper skills, especially in the Bangalore office's PI routing team. These are engineers being promoted to managers with no man-management skills. They will literally gaslight you if even one of your review cycles goes average. They are not supportive at all and are very negative. Toxic Atmosphere: Office politics are rampant. Meritocracy takes a backseat to personal agendas and favoritism (old timers, managers, and some directors). Manipulated Ranking System: The review system, meant to be fair, is manipulated by managers and veteran employees to favor certain individuals. It is just a whitewash. Even if you downrate a manager, the director will schedule a meeting with you to change the rankings. Overall, the review system is a complete fraud. Stagnant Wages: Arista's revenue and net profit margin have been increasing year by year, and yet they come up with petty reasons for not giving hikes. You might not get a hike for 3 years or maybe 4-6%, which is even less than inflation. Dubious Positive Reviews: Many positive reviews seem fake or are written by inexperienced individuals who don't understand the company's true environment in its early stages. Limited Transferable Skills: The company heavily relies on its internal language, TACC, making it hard for employees to gain skills valued outside of Arista. Work Life Balance: The company boasts of work-life balance, but it's actually a complete empty rhetoric. You have to work outside office hours, or else you would be criticized in a review cycle by your manager for not contributing enough. Cheap Company: Apart from compensation, the company office lacks basic facilities, like a basic coffee machine in the office. It is a multinational company but has the facilities of a loss-making startup company. No team lunches, no outings, nothing at all. I would strictly not recommend anyone to come to Arista at all, especially the Bangalore PI routing team!
