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 talent. Juniper does not think that is important. Juniper doesn't think the top line is important. It's playing a bottom line game. It is hard to motivate talented people to get on board with that. The best tech workers in the world are in Northern California, not Southern India.

So who does Juniper attract in Northern California? A greedy bunch of vultures who know perfectly well how to carve up the carcass. SVPs > VPs > Directors. Bonus money and pay increases didn't trickle down as much as it should have. Inequity is not transparent, but it is obvious.

The only reason Juniper still has customers are the heroes in Juniper Support, and the fortunate fact that people hate writing checks to Cisco.

The only reason Juniper still has rank-and-file employees willing to go to work for them in North America is the inescapable reality that people have families.

This week, the vultures won again, voting the poor people with families off the island, in order to reserve money for more vultures.

Ask not what the swamp has done to you, but what you can do to drain the swamp.

@PXqrSnF-2skp , Agreed! The swamp at Juniper needs a serious draining.

I see a bunch of DE's sitting on their sorry butts all day in their offices doing nothing but surfing the web and watch Youtube. Just because they are a DE doesn't entitle them to be a king.

The sad reality is the hard working, honest, friendly people are the ones to be axed only to be then replaced by H1Bs!

What did you expect when recent ones are political appointees. This ain't no longer a professional organization by any yardstick. It's a political organization and if some one doesn't like it , they are free to leave.

The DE and PES are the worst jokes in juniper, all they do is take credit for other's work. DonkeyEnggg sounds like a good acronym for DEs. AA and his cahoots have converted PE/DE into a plagiarizing engineer role. The recent ones cannot find tier a--3s even if it's in thier hands. They steal all they can lay ther hands on. The level of incompetence is glaringly obvious when they ask for basic ideas from seseral grade lower junior engineers.

The engineers and managers are very scared of these kings.

This in a nutshell is the same slide of quality and values all around in juniper, especially in engineering.

Very true. I personally know many DE, PE doing nothing and just surviving because of contacts. These people are not even hireable by any company. So they do everything to keep their job instead of doing right things for the company.

It was a joke.no one with right connections was impacted. H1s were all mostly spared, they are easy to rule over by the overlords. All those affected in my know were just scapegoat, and those which we all thought are likely to be affected, were spared because of their connections, race and ethnicity.

The connections to those in power is all that matters. Managers were under pressure to pick only outside this pool. Pathetic and disgusting. It's clear the slum lords used it as an opportunity to consolidate thier base.

The swamp needs serious draining.

They layoff VPs when they want to bring in their friends instead. No tears there. VPs walk in with employment contracts that guarantee their 4 year block of RSUs.

Digital marketing too.

Two VPs in Marketing: 1. Product Marketing 2. Brand and Communications

Just curious, any manager was affected in this round? excluding those whose entire team got cut.

true that
