Pros

Good work life balance Talented co-workers

Cons

1. Perception and visibility are your friends in Areview process rather than the work you do. 2. Arewiew outcomes are biased and altered by managers. They can move person up/down or influence others to do so. 3. Managers have lost leadership and push the responsibility either to employees or to higher management. When Areview of person goes down they blame the employee but worst part is employee areview does not reflect the true work done. If employee raise compensation related concern, they tell it is not in their control and upper management decides this on the basis of Areview outcome 4. Big parity in pay difference between Pune and Bangalore for same levels due to attrition factors and demand-supply gap.

Pros

Top-tier technology. brilliant engineers. Incredible customer support TAC. The hyperscalers are consuming Arista tech at an alarming rate, and that serves as a great testimonial to the integrity of the technology, but the GTM strategy for Campus expansion is nonexistent.

Cons

Campus/Enterprise & Commercial sales regions are on an island of their own. Zero business development teams, zero marketing, zero branding, zero latest generation tools to prospect, research, and extract data to target your campaigns. If you don't have existing relationships in your market, then you're on your own to prospect, generate interest, connect with decision makers, identify "at bat opportunities" and close new business. The Hyperscaler use-case examples aren't enough to win real enterprise business from Cisco and HPE.
