Juniper has no clue how to compensate and treat employees. There is a reason why so many of the M&A employees are jumping ship
Apstra is really bad. But hey, it's better than Forward Networks.
Any insider info on the deal, how much Juniper paid. Over past 18 mon ths, Juniper spent around $1B for
acquisitions, but no topline and bottom line growth. They coould have retired 50M shares with this money.
Juniper needs Data-Center talent, expertise and mostly leadership. Apstra founder is joining as Chief Scientist. That will add a lot of credibility.
Cisco gave apstra the middle finger last year. Arista has their own product in this space. There weren’t many prom dates left for apstra
I sincerely hope it’s not a 9 figure acquisition that doesn’t even pay for itself (who remembers contrail)
