Process
I applied through an on-campus career fair and got an interview the other day.
The interview was conducted in a large room, and there were two interviews going on at the same time.
Basically, it was a technical interview, but the questions were not hard. You did not need to use any algorithms in this round.
Questions
The questions they asked were straightforward. They first asked some concept questions about different data structures.
What is the difference between a vector and a linked list?
Then, they asked me what two functions did. The two functions performed the same job, and they showed these on their terminal. They asked which one was faster. The time function was already there; I just had to call it.
Was this helpful?

Arista Networks Work Experiences
- 2.0What is it like to work for Arista?Software Engineer • Current EmployeeBengaluru, Karnataka, IndiaDecember 29, 2022Pros: You need to learn many open-source tools and technologies. You are expected to build features from end to end, which include creating functional/design specs, getting them reviewed, developing the product, and finally writing test cases for the same.Cons: They have the worst indigenous language they created called TACC. Nowhere else it is used. The worst part is you need to be well-versed with the language to develop your product code. It doesn't matter which team you are in; the development is done in TACC only. They don't have proper documentation and videos for TACC. Also, only the top 5% of higher management knows the full 95% of TACC. You have to keep running back to them if you are stuck with TACC, which makes the development slow and tiring.
