This includes the management - this is puzzling as they are a major revenue driver. Husband works there, got the axe this morning. Oh, Juniper... We'll move on, but seriously, who is really thinking through this - it's a major business function that contributes revenue to the bottom line - whoever stays there, good luck...

MBA's and M&A lawyers are trained on selling "Lies..." it's the way the Western World works...
Maybe there is something behind the suspicion that Juniper's getting ready to sell themselves. They clearly cannot take the quarterly Wall St. pressure any more. Product line is more on power points than reality. Many seriously good people have either left in recent times or have been let go, keeping only the PALs (Personal A$$ Lickers) of upper management. Now the erosion of inside sales points to getting rid of a major sales outfit. Pradeep the founder-member CTO is gone to have fun with Fungible. Jonathan has gone back to Cisco. Denise Schiffmann fired without a whimper. Brocade's boss hired who fired Brocade into oblivion till they were sold off in bits and pieces. This may mean either going private and sort out serious issues with product life cycle management and GTM strategy and/or get to hedge funds under pressure from Elliott Mgmt board members and sale it in bits and pieces - which BTW, means way more brutal firing next round up.
So, when are people gonna wake up to the fact that EVERYTHING is a "Lie??"
The Eastern World (the BRIC's) are aware of this...
I worked at juniper in Westford until today in inside Sales. There was 34 of us who got let go by 4 people from corporate and also from the headhunter branch of juniper called pro-unlimited (?).
We all knew it was going to be a bad meeting because they had water bottles and Kleenex in the room and as we were passing by the two receptionists, they had a nervous look to them.
I’m pissed because One guy was hired straight from college in mid September and came all the way from New Jersey, and he signed a 12 month lease. This kid got let go today. He has tons of student debt. This kid came all the way to work for one month
