Topics regarding layoffs at Juniper Networks Inc.

Overworked and underpaid

When I was at Juniper, I worked most nights, weekends, some holidays and was on call during PTOs. My total compensation was way below market and I was under a lot of stress. So glad I left a long time ago.

T O X I C & T U R M O I L

It’s so difficult to remain positive and focused at Juniper when the house is on fire. Change is desperately needed, drain the swamp, purge the greed and ignorance at the c-suite. Get rid of the toxic waste that is causing so much havoc.

Not all at once, but look for continued reduction in the coming year. WF headcount is already down by 50% and this trend will continue. JNPR has quietly been shopping the property. The recent remodeling is to make the building more salable. My... — read more

It's a wonder Juniper isn't in worse shape than it is, considering the complete lack of leadership and proper direction for the past several years. No matter how many times it becomes obvious that some kind of change is required, those on top just... — read more

No innovation is our biggest issue

Last major products from JNPR were PTX and QFabric. 8 years ago. Risky and innovative for their times, and proven right in the long run to be correct, even if QFabric died a slow death (execution problems not an architecture one). JNPR hasn't had an... — read more

PPA

PPA is a disaster, an absolute bad hire and will without a doubt take down what little is left of JNPR. He's been brining in all his Canadian cronies to run the show with shady backgrounds and questionable ethics. Change is needed in go-to-market but... — read more

Ugh, how do I get out? That is the question. Forget about that "to be or not to be" c-ap. I have a nice salary (not as nice as it used to be now that bonuses and raises are down, but still. . .). And I have a sizeable number of RSUs vesting over the... — read more
