Software Engineer (Internship) Interview Experience - Santa Barbara, California
Process
I met a recruiter through a career fair, and they quickly set up an interview within two weeks. The interview process was unfair and poorly designed because I had to code through Vim and use the terminal to compile my code. They also forced me to code in C, and the interviewers were not helpful with debugging.

Arista Networks Work Experiences
- 3.0Good place to learn Bad place to growSoftware Test Engineer • Current EmployeeSanta Clara, California, United StatesFebruary 18, 2021Pros: A steep learning curve means you get a chance to learn more in a short span of time if you can keep up, which is good for your future endeavor.Cons: Close to zero reward and recognition. Steep learning curve. Each and every engineer here is dealing with multiple projects because the company does not want to hire more. Even if they hire, old people are leaving because they are not happy with their work-life balance and rewards. Generally, there is one salary hike every three years. If you get lucky, you will get a 2% to 3% hike.
