Process
I was applied for by a current Arista employee and was contacted by HR the next day to schedule an interview. One day later, HR suddenly asked for my transcripts, stating they were required prior to the interview. I sent my transcripts, and then I was rejected with no reason.
So, NEVER provide transcripts before an interview! They just want to reject you.

Arista Networks Work Experiences
4.0
It's a stable company following startup culture
Software Engineer • Former Employee
Bengaluru, Karnataka, India
October 16, 2024
Pros: It provides perks like a stable company.
Cons: It expects work enthusiasm from its employees, like a startup. Considering its rivalry with Cisco, they have to force employees to work more than expected. Therefore, work-life balance is not present.
4.0
Cool tech company
Software Engineer • Current Employee
Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada
September 1, 2019
Pros: Awesome people, never felt any tension.
Almost 0 pressure (and I'm not a "top" engineer).
Managers are all very technical, they are never out-of-touch.
No nonsense meetings that are a waste of time.
Very unique software engineering area to work on, in my opinion.
Cons: - I don't feel really needed; my contribution is a drop in the ocean. This isn't necessarily a bad thing, and it's probably the same for most big tech companies, but it might not suit everyone.
- Ramping up is long and hard.
- The Vancouver office is a bit far from everything, about an hour from downtown Vancouver by public transit.

Software Engineer at Arista Networks (Dublin, Ireland)
Software Engineer • Current Employee
Dublin, Leinster, Ireland
October 19, 2020
Pros: The work itself is very interesting. The people are nice, and the office is nice. There is an amazing work/life balance, and we have great team-building events, activities, and hackathons.
Cons: Compensation could be better (you need to fight for getting what you should get). Evolution perspectives are not really existing.
