Pros

Great Founders (Andy and Ken).

Andy is Arista - as long as he is at Arista, I will be staying at Arista.

Early SW/HW founding engineers are really smart and at the top of the industry.

Cons

Other top execs not named Andy Bechtolsheim or Ken Duda are so-so.

Extremely hard to get motivated.

Good people are leaving, and the exec team does not care, as they are easily replaced by cheaper, younger people.

Advice to Management

Nothing, as there is zero chance they will listen. They are extremely lucky to ride on Andy and Ken's coattails.
