Pros

Autonomy, no micro management, best technos on the market

Cons

White space territory at start (in most cases, rule is: limited to no existing customers to start with). Takes ages to develop territory (channel recruitment, new logo penetration). Meaning: no real sales commissions the first years (1 to 2 years from start). Then the 3rd year pressure increases... Be prepared to that before considering a sales position. To consider as well: company is very technos oriented, no real marketing and communication towards market, which, in consequence, doesn't know that much the company (doesn't help to open doors!). It's an engineering company, not really a sales machine...

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.
