A lot of rumors, no reliable info. If anyone can share info that’s of value, please do so. Not many exactly love working at Juniper, but given the state of the job market, not very many of us have much of a choice.

what department gets hit first? DEV behave bad lately
Confirmed! It's happening.
| X/Twitter is only down 25% and gained freedom of speech power which is more valuable.
Did this age well, with the news that Elon kept the Vance dossier off of X?
C'mon, dipsh-ts, Leon doesn't care about free speech for anyone except himself, and people who have a strong desire to be a$$hole$
| HPE can shut down routing and switching tomorrow and no one will notice.
LOL that's a good one.
"Ask Mist Man!"
More informative to ask my cat.

I normally come to this site for the existential angst. Didn’t expect a full on belly laugh. Thanks.
X/Twitter is only down 25% and gained freedom of speech power which is more valuable. HPE is not an avenue for free speech protections. If you are gauging value based on number of layoffs at X that should tell you something about how unnecessary some people are.
JNPR routing and switching is "also-ran" technology. HPE bought JNPR for AI and Machine Learning tech. HPE can shut down routing and switching tomorrow and no one will notice.
anyone that claims they know exactly when and how things happen is a liar. even the top execs right now don't know, period.
of course there will be "redundancies" and some will be established earlier than others. it's not like we haven't seen some. trimming before. and some product consolidation plans were already in effect prior to anything related to HPE.
But HPE will not basically shut down JNPR and risk a 14B investment go to cr-p. we saw how well that genius management strategy worked for Musk and X, which is 80% down in value. let's not be stupid with the doomsday extrapolations.
The integration of Juniper into HPE will take years. You both have separate Salesforce instances and legacy systems that are needed to continue business as usual. I went through this process when they bought our small company over 2 years ago and we still are not integrated. You will get a new job offer from HPE and most likely will go through background checks again. They will want you quickly integrated into HR systems and T&E systems, that was painful and complicated. I agree with one of the comments that they will need existing Juniper employees due to their knowledge and relationships with existing customers.
Everyone needs to calm down. (And no, I am not an executive, lol).
It's not like HPE and Juniper started talking a month before the acquisition announcement in January. With the amount of cash on the line (14bn), I would assume this has been in talks over the past year or two.
If you need a reference, look at Aruba. They were bought nine years ago for 3 billion and still have Aruba in their name. We were bought for 4x that. They aren't going to ki-l the golden goose, and let's face it, even after the sale, we will still be the golden goose. Just look at the trend is all I am saying.
Their salespeople don't know our stuff, nor do we know theirs. Their SEs don't know our stuff, nor do we know theirs (or even care to). I know companies that 'merged' together, and it took them at least five years to start eliminating departments and org changes.
Everyone needs to chill TF out. Will some fat-trimming happen? Sure. Are they going to blow away Juniper? #ell no. Stop reading this BS on here. It's so contradicting that it's not even funny. If you look at previous stuff from in the spring, "big layoffs in May!" or "Big layoffs in June - just watch!", then went into July and nothing.
Don't cause unnecessary anxiety when no one knows what tomorrow brings. We have enough anxiety as it is.
No way close is happening in October. Period, full stop.
Oh it could definitely happen in October but all this “everything in place” and HPE has org charts from LinkedIn talk is just hot garbage. Any org changes will be 1) pure administrative overlap 2) positions they would’ve cut anyway being it’s October and Juniper does rightsizing in October every year.
Any big, big changes will take years to sort.
No way close is happening in October. Period, full stop.
Don't believe Mist Man, he's high on Ozempic.
I’d say most things on here are rumors and/or exacerbated.
The only thing that seems somewhat reliable is a close date of October/nov. somewhere . But that’s just kinda obvious if you open your eyes.
We won’t know until we know. Prep your resume and start applying now, just in case. No harm in making a safe decision and preparing for the worst.
May you all be able to secure a good job. Hope the market conditions gets better soon.
It is sweiously getting hard to get even a seasonal job.
