Greed! That is the only reason why. The leadership thinks they can pull in the same revenue with new sales teams just out of college. Absolute nonsense. These decisions seem to be made on baseless assumptions, and the sales and marketing leadership... — read more

https://finance.yahoo.com/m/d2003590-01f5-3e70-999c-5635b2b09e71/cisco-gains-on-solid-earnings.html Does CEO confess that Juniper leaders are incompetent or something seriously wrong with Juniper strategy and marketing.

Anyone else here in Vegas? The atmosphere at this meeting is as if there’s one big huge fart in the air and no one can get away from it. People are drinking (a LOT) and doing the Vegas stuff... but there’s definitely a major undercurrent or... — read more 

I recently left Juniper and curious to know how much Bonus Juniper announced for March. Looks like last quarter is great even though forecast is bad.

Mismanagement is common with incompetent managers who were promoted due to friendships, connections, influence etc. These types of managers are also responsible for lousy business decisions, that create havoc over time. Juniper marketing is full of... — read more
