This review is specific to this particular role, as I still like Arista networks overall. When I joined the video call, it seemed the hiring manager was in the middle of something or perhaps trying to show how busy he was, as if he didn’t have time for the interview. I felt somewhat offended by this approach. I understand that managers are busy, but if you've accepted a time for the interview, please make space for it and respect the candidates who have also set aside time for this meeting. The hiring manager appeared to be quite young and technical, which isn’t a problem for me—it was good that he understood the technical aspects. However, it seemed like he was more focused on showing off his technical skills and trying to undermine my experience. During the interview, I explained that while I haven’t worked for a network manufacturing company, I would be interested in doing so if given the chance. However, he gave off negative vibes, as if he was forced to conduct the interview and clearly wasn’t interested. At one point, he focused on a concept like VXLAN and delved very deeply into technical details. I explained the use case for VXLAN and how I implemented it in my data center environment, but it seemed like he wasn’t really listening. He asked me about RIB and FIB tables, and when I explained them, he told me my answer was incorrect, only to give the same explanation in a different way. He came across as somewhat dismissive. According to him, I should already know all the technologies listed in the job description. But from my perspective, candidates join companies for growth and the opportunity to learn new things on the job. If I already knew everything in the role, why would I be interested in joining the company? This is a common issue with younger managers—they sometimes struggle to recognize a candidate's potential for growth. Overall, my experience with this hiring manager was negative, and I’m relieved that I won’t be working under him.
