@Juniper.... Poor marketing => Poor sales => More layoffs.
“@Juniper.... Poor marketing => Poor sales => More layoffs” This comment is so true. There have been many comments on this site blaming other groups for Juniper’s failures, particularly PLM, Engineering and Sales. Marketing is the root cause of... — read more

Not sure how many of you looked at the article somebody posted in another thread (https://marketrealist.com/2018/03/juniper-networks-revenues-expected-to-decline-in-fiscal-2018,) but those numbers are really bad. If their predictions are true, we are... — read more

Junipers Marketing s---s
The fundamental problem with Juniper is Marketing. There are a handful of idiots in Marketing who know just enough to impress an equally unimpressive group of mouthy directors and VPs. This group has repeatedly brought out a series of products and... — read more
Contrail s---s everything out of Juniper

Partner with ISPs
Juniper really needs to find ways to partner with ISPs and offer a consumer modem (cable, dsl or vdsl etc) that has SRX firewall integrated. Their sales engineers should expand focus on different customer sectors besides government such as education... — read more

Juniper March 2018 layoffs
Mid to late March this year or sooner. Remember last March’s layoffs? They need to get their numbers in order for Q1 2018. Pretty much this, for those wondering when next round of layoffs is coming. Not sure how bad it will get, but I'm positive we... — read more
Who does Juniper sell their products to?
I was visiting a very ill relative at the hospital and while looking around I see Cisco wireless access points, cisco security IP cameras, nurses carrying cisco wireless voip phones, cisco ip phones, everything Cisco! Makes me wonder what are the... — read more
How not to get Laid Off at Juniper? Get laid.
Recently I heard an ex-Marketing employee at Juniper survived several rounds of layoffs, even though she herself admitted she didn’t contribute in her role. In fact she even claimed she managed to get herself promoted twice before she was finally let... — read more
Are people the most valuable asset at Juniper Networks?
In this article, Ivan Gorski explains why people (with experience and know-how) are the most valuable asset in tech companies. If this is true, why does the leadership at Juniper not reallize this, and jump at the chance to layoff people with... — read more
Layoffs won’t solve the Problems at Juniper
There is no layoff big enough to solve the issues faced by Juniper... inside and outside the company. Internally, there is no cohesion between the business groups. They all act as through they are in a seperate company. Routing is arrogant. Switching... — read more
Chop, Chop - Job Losses
Fasten seat belts for heads on the chopping block in EMEA with a new boss from "Brocade".
Ericsson/Juniper tie up
Head count is being cut to make this future tie up more attractive to both sides. For Juniper engineering, it's a net good move, as Ericsson just killed their BNG division. There's a lot less overlap than with Cisco, so only a few Ericsson router and... — read more

Engineering the fraud@juniper
All that could be said of engineering at Juniper, just showed up as a comment on a major news story: "I work with hundreds of these H1-B holders from India, they have vastly lied about their credentials and skills just to get into the U.S. market and... — read more
Juniper February and/or March 2018 Layoffs
In EMEA rumours are circulating again about possible layoffs in Feb/March 2018. Channel/partner team may get impacted. Apparently its being run "mafia style" by a completely inexperienced person hand-picked and promoted inexplicably early 2017 by the... — read more
IHS says Juniper is #1 with Service Providers (even before recreational m-r-j-a-a is legal in California).
Juniper is #1 with service providers according to a new report by IHS. What are you smoking? What this really means is that IHS made a boatload of cash for a bogus survey and writing up a pay for play report for Juniper. Who believes this cräp? Get... — read more
No more layoff rumors lately?
It has been quiet on the layoff front since October. But there were some acquisition rumors from time to time. Things are getting better now?
Juniper hype is a thing of the past
Customers are much better informed now, and the hype of Juniper (products) is a thing of the past. Juniper does not have a default way in, to any account, including service providers. Arista is the new black. Even (communications) service providers... — read more

EEOC Retaliation - SF bayarea or other area lawyer recommendation.
Any recommendations ? Or how to find a good one since there are so many available ?
single most important reason for juniper to fail
Resource allocation. Very few people end up doing the most of the work. other people just come to work spending most of their time in discussing about family/pets/vacations or blowing 2 hours in gym , 2 hr lunch breaks etc, unbelieveable. but when it... — read more
End of SRX rumors?
Reliable source from inside are teliing or speculate the product line to be sold off in a desperate effort to revitalize rest of the products and investments. Is this a true?

When is the the Next Layoff?
Curious when the next one will be. Q1 2018? There will be cuts between layoffs too, When Is the next big one going to strike?
Juniper is unable to inovate
I've watched the decay from within engineering over the past couple of years. People can speculate on the reason (poor culture, bad leadership, non-stop layoffs, low morale, etc.) Regardless of the cause the problem for Juniper is that the... — read more
Was SRX spared again ?
It's been treated mildly, at least on developmentioned side in the past. Did they again dodge the bullet with perpetual blackmail? It's insidious for healthy teams to get hit when they are the primary biz lossers. 17% Revenues down YOY is NOT a... — read more
The vultures won again
I left 4 years ago. Individual contributor. I was there about 4 years. Maybe 3 years too many. I'm good at my job. I make 50% now than I did my last year at Juniper. KJ was fun to watch, but he did not teach the next tier how to identify and retain... — read more
Why does Juniper refuse to call JOB CUTS with its true name: "LAYOFFS"
I am really puzzled - they are talking about small cuts - just look around and tell me - are we really cutting sporadically and very light? You are right, we are not - the cuts are deep and they should be called by its true name: LAYOFFS. No matter... — read more
Learning a lesson
Juniper is being run down into the ground by an ex-PLM. I agree everyone likes Rami, but that doesn’t mean he is a competent CEO. Rami may have been promoted to a point of incompetence too. The Peter principle in full effect, just like everywhere... — read more
Juniper's problems are countless
I have been working for Juniper for the last couple of years (hence not a legacy Juniper person), and believe me, Juniper's troubles are FAR bigger than just Amazon. Half-baked products, critical attack of somnambulism among PLM's, unnaturally long... — read more
Small realignment of the workforce?...what a load of crap Rami...you whacked entire workgroups...Its called a LAYOFF.
But thats the JUNIPER way now it seems...Right ?? LAYOFFS and more LAYOFFS to make the numbers...Not a way to run any company...Upper Mgmt is mostly incompetent and out of touch with the needs of the Corp Enterprise market and what the partners... — read more
