Process
I have an on-campus interview. All the questions were technical; none focused on my background or my thought process. The coding question was easy. It involved outputting a node's value in a linked list based on the Fibonacci sequence. Then, the interviewer asked me to choose one set of questions. There were about six sets. I chose Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) first and performed very poorly in this section. The questions covered very basic concepts that I learned in undergraduate studies. Afterward, I chose to answer networking questions. The interviewer presented 10 networking protocols and asked me to explain some of them in detail, such as BGP, OSPF, and DHCP. I did well in this part. I think the interview was not too hard, but you truly need to be familiar with basic concepts.

Arista Networks Work Experiences
- 4.0Cool tech companySoftware Engineer • Current EmployeeVancouver, British Columbia, CanadaSeptember 1, 2019Pros: 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.
- 3.0Good For Networking, Hard To SwitchSoftware Engineer • Former EmployeeBengaluru, Karnataka, IndiaAugust 28, 2019Pros: If you are a networking enthusiast.Cons: Difficulty in switching after you work more than 2 years.
- 2.0Not a great company to work forSoftware Engineer • Current EmployeeSeptember 10, 2023Pros: 1. Helpful colleague 2. Nice team cultureCons: 1. The review system is completely crap. Hard work is not rewarded in this company. 2. There are no facilities available in the office: no cab, no gym, not even a proper sitting place. They accommodate three people in a space sufficient only for two. 3. You are expected to work on multiple projects, escalations, and feature maintenance, and yet your salary does not increase. 4. You might end up getting the same salary for three to four years without any increments, as no hikes for multiple years is a very common thing here. 5. Very limited growth opportunities. 6. Managers take advantage of employees by saying that the growth in stock price covers the compensation adjustment/increment for this year.
