My SED heard from our SVP that the numbers are so bad in the Americas that unless something big comes in, another big round of SE and AM reductions is inevitable. If it happens will be at the end of Q3. 200+ in sales and sales engineering across all... — read more
Why don't people just leave?
So much hate here. If you hate the company so much, why don't you simply leave? I'm sure we'll do just fine without you.
IT IS NOT FAKE NEWS
To whomever keeps claiming news of Juniper layoffs is “fake news”: shame on you. Layoffs affect real people with real families and real mouths to feed. To dismiss affected professionals in such Trumpian fashion is disgusting. It wouldn’t surprise me... — read more
Will layoffs ever stop?
It seems like I hear every week that either a whole team or just a few people have been laid off. There is no break, every week same thing. What's going on here? Are we ever going to see the end of this? Or do we have to now accept weekly (or even... — read more
Has Juniper become a total sewer?
What is the truth about the morale there? Is the truth that it just feels like a funeral every day you come to work? Why are you still doing custom silicon? Can't you learn a lesson from Arista? It's merchant silicon. They are out routering you with... — read more
Team fired
I just got laid off. Whole consulting team in service provider fired. Maybe 13 of us total. Anyone else today? Hearing more on Sept 1.
Grass is really greener when it comes to Juniper
Often times it feels as if grass is greener on the other side of the fence, most times it is not true. I left Juniper a year ago and say with 100% confidence that in case of Juniper grass is definitely greener on the other side of the fence. I was... — read more
Another stealth layoff
Big chunk of systest let go yesterday. About 40 people.
Rare positive perspective
Juniper is a great place to work in some ways. Don’t get me wrong, it’s poorly managed but it’s always been a poorly managed place. Growing internet traffic is always going to be a strong headwind for our business despite our intense focus on product... — read more
Is Juniper still a good company to work for?
Have received an offer from the test team in Sunnyvale. All this talk about layoffs is making me paranoid though. Would it be stupid to join Juniper at this time? Would I be hitching my wagon to a dead horse?
People are leaving Juniper on their own
And not just any people, some of our best. Those with the best knowledge and most years of experience. I can understand why they are choosing to leave on their own, considering how many have been laid off in the past several years, but this is really... — read more
Do we know how bad this week was?
We very rarely if ever have layoffs on Friday, so I'm thinking we are done for the week. But it'd be good to know how bad this week was. Do we have a number for how many were laid off in the past several days? I know they were layoffs internationally... — read more
Entire team fired
Bloodbath in EMEA. whole teams let go. Every SE on our account sacked. Half the Acct Mgr’s fired. Hearing it’s eveb worse in other grps
Is anything happening today?
Anybody knows if there will be layoffs today after all? Everything seems quiet where I'm at, so I'm hoping it's going to stay that way.
The Juniper Way
The company has been in a death spiral since the leadership team that built the company moved on. They were replaced by an executive leadership team that had one thing in mind, stay with the company long enough to collect their stock options and then... — read more
Laid off
Half my group in Westford including me was let go today. People were told this morning. Some were crying as they were escorted to the door. People here 10 and 15 years. And forget about 30 days to find something internal - company kicks us all to the... — read more
Who else is nervous about this week?
I'm worried that the rumored August 1 massive layoffs will come true. Might be a fool for believing rumors, but I can't help it. Spent the weekend stressing out and figuring out what to do if my name is on the list (which in hindsight was not a bad... — read more
Looks like nothing has changed
Got laid off last Oct 24, best thing ever happened to me after years at JNPR, came back here and check and looks like nothing has changed at JNPR. There's great life after JNPR. God bless the hardworking engineering folks.
JNPR stock DOWN 10.88% 8 min after market open
Bada-bing! Downgrades after downgrades have gotten this lump flattened out. Poor execution, sluggish management and colossal mismanagement is driving this one time tech pioneer to ground. Following paths of Nortel and Brocade

Is winter coming ..?
Leaving on my own
I finally decided to leave Juniper behind and I'm so glad I did. This company has turned into a joke. Not sure how we dropped from where we were to so low in relatively short period, but I'm not willing to stay and watch as we sink even further. I... — read more

Juniper stopped PGA sponsorship
How much did that cost?
Juniper has zero chance for survival with the current leadership team
Juniper's focus on Security and SDN lately just goes to show that it is trying hard to survive. Trying to latch on to anything that sticks. It is sad that a routing company that defined the standard of excellence in that space is about to be extinct... — read more
Juniper Lay-off August 1st
Rumor is Juniper will have large lay-offs on August 1st, 2018
To the person who is simply replying with FAKE NEWS
This person is probably one of the cxo ‘s trying to save their own face. You don’t need to say FAKE NEWS in every thread here. Your saying FAKE NEWS is already fake enough for us to believe.
June layoffs
But layoffs are coming in June. Be prepared. Not sure which groups will be hit. Heard managers have been told to prepare names. Has anybody else heard anything more about June layoffs? People seem to know that something is coming next month, but... — read more
Were there any layoffs this week?
Somebody mentioned there were layoffs earlier this week but couldn't provide any details. I've tried to find some info on what has happened since that was the first I heard of it, but there's nothing. Were there any layoffs? My coworker has no reason... — read more

Who's going to acquire Juniper?
Nokia was a possibility as they are known for buying scrap companies but they went away. One look at Juniper's culture will have Mussolini run for the hills. In EMEA the Management decided to promote people with 0 management experience from a... — read more

Heard some happened this week and more coming. Which groups?
Juniper Routing going down
Juniper routing is down 20% yearly Clearly the flagship routing products of juniper are not competitive anymore . Expect layoffs in Routing group as this is one of the fat group which was hardly touched in the past
The nightmare called BEO
Has anyone had experience with this pathetic excuse for a group ? Folks with ivory tower positions using horrid unworkable processes as an excuse that makes a 2 month project into a 6 month one. Instead of empowering and guiding the groups to... — read more
Contrail "Enterprise" Multicloud - How many Contrail licenses have they sold so far in total?!
Great product Contrail. Lousiest BU though. For every Contrail POC I worked at I had NO response from anyone at the BU AS down, unless multitude of SVPs would be copied on the request. One would think that for such a truly great product struggling to... — read more

Gldman Sachs Downgrade
As soon as Juniper's quarterly call is announced, in came a Goldman Sachs downgrade. Stock is tanking 5%+ as I write this. Writing's on the wall. MJ in EMEA is sharpening his knives
Silicon Valley is belatedly acknowledging the value of human beings
As “Silicon Valley is belatedly acknowledging the value of human beings”, Juniper’s “self driving networks”, “netbots” and “automation” campaigns will prove yet again how marketing has failed to see the future. https://qz.com/1252986 Maybe this... — read more
