Pros

Great company, started well with talented people, but gradually losing the talent for obvious reasons (not ready to spend in this area).

Plenty of opportunities to learn and grow (if you are early in your career).

Cons

As others mentioned:

  • Lack of formal, periodic, or transparent promotion/pay revision/bonus processes.
  • Leadership (always) comes up with a reason (read: a conservative way of saving money) to not give raises each year.

There is not enough space or facilities for employees in the Bangalore office (advertised as a Development Center). In fact, leadership decided to give up seating space and facilities (gym, cafeteria, break room, conference rooms - in other words, anything required other than 8 hours of work). This was done while the company was growing and hired more employees! Just to save some dollars.

Advice to Management

Please try to spend more for India Development Center (at least on par with other global Arista offices). A bit more consideration on periodic pay revision will definitely help (at least match with the people fired from other vendor companies).
