Best company I've ever worked for
Best company I've ever worked for
COMPANY Arista's upper management has defined a set of inspiring company values, and they are not just platitudes. Both management and employees live and breathe the values every day.
COWORKERS My Arista coworkers are the smartest and most dedicated group of people I've ever worked with. Everyone is supportive and willing to help each other out.
COMPENSATION Compensation is well above average, especially for the Greater Vancouver area. The stock options are a very nice addition to your total compensation (Arista's IPO was June 6, 2014).
TECH Arista has invested heavily in custom tooling and automation to ensure that our software is of the highest quality. Automatic builds (with web dashboard), automatic branch merge ups, automated product tests, and automated regression testing are just some of the things that have been implemented.
Be prepared to be immersed in Linux, Python, and Arista's custom TACC language.
EQUIPMENT You'll be developing on a top-end MacBook Pro with a 27" monitor to go along with it.
Most of your life is spent in a command-line shell, which, depending on what you like, could be a pro or a con.
Emacs vs. vi debates spring up regularly. :-)
Get an Employee Stock Purchase Plan (ESPP) going for the Canadian office ASAP to match our US coworkers!
