Arista Networks

• Good pay (might not be the best in the industry, but still better than bellwether competitors).
• Great learnings on multiple technological fronts.
• Good exposure to customer network deployments.
• Good scope to broaden your skill set by participating in Virtual Tech Teams.
• Peer review feedback system and flat hierarchy.
• Extremely helpful peers and excellent work culture, more or less works in a startup mode.

• No yearly increments. You'll get your salary increment when you cross your review level. It may take 1 year, 2 years, or 3 years; there is no fixed timeline.
• Your reviews/rankings are not disclosed to you, so you wouldn't know exactly at what ranking level you are.
• There's a constant push from managers to be loaded with tasks other than your primary assignment. Task juggling and constant context switching can become too hard at times.
• No work-life balance. You'll spend a solid 12 hours working every day, stretching up to midnight, sometimes beyond. You are expected to do too many things on the side.
• If you resign, you are an enemy of the state. You'll be pushed out within a couple of days, a week at best. You'll have a tough time guessing whether you left on your own accord or you just got fired.
• In India, the RSUs are pretty less when compared to US peers, though we are expected to perform on par with them.

Please reveal the review levels to the employees; it gives a fair idea of where they stand.

When an employee resigns, please give them a dignified exit.

Please consider issuing more RSUs instead of just refreshing them once every four years when the previous lot lapses.

Yearly salary increments are required to keep everyone motivated and to keep up with the inflation rate. Please consider the same.
