Arista - Engineering morale lately?

Been with Arista for a few years now, and I've noticed a definite shift in the engineering org over the past couple of quarters. Seems like there's a lot more urgency, tighter deadlines, and frankly, a bit of a 'drinking from a firehose' vibe. Management seems to be pushing for more with less, and the pressure to deliver is palpable. Are others feeling this? It's not necessarily a bad company, and the tech is still top-notch, but the day-to-day grind feels significantly more intense than it used to. Just wondering if this is a company-wide thing or if I'm in a particularly stressed department. Any insights would be appreciated.

Yeah, I've definitely felt that increased pressure. The pace has picked up considerably, and it feels like the team is stretched thinner than before. While the company's success is great, it does translate to longer hours and a more demanding workload for many of us in engineering. It's a trade-off, for sure, and I'm curious to see if this intensity is sustainable long-term or if there's a plan to rebalance things.
