Every week brings more news of strong talented people leaving Juniper! They know it is a sinking ship and barely is surviving revenue quarter over quarter. Arista and Cisco etc are kicking Juniper all over the playground. Even the good HR people have decided to leave, we lost skilled HRBPs that supported us and now left with average HR leaders. The BOD needs to step in and fix the Exec staff. More layoffs and corroding morale everyday...sad

I’m not sure if the BOD wants to act since that means taking out RR when they put him there. I agree that acquisition or going private is in the tea leaves.
I guess that is because you guys mentioned the real name. Staying with Initials should be fine.
Recent posts regarding AA and JD have been deleted, any ideas why? Any chance AA's gang in Juniper contacted layoff.com to delete the posts?
Out of 71b stashed abroad they have spent some 31b on stock buyback maybe a bit more
Cat9k is not a sp router. I dont think it comes under JDs bu at all. He seems to be busy on fastpath and diversity
Csco has spent the repatriated money on stock buybacks in last two quarters so that execs and wall street can profit
@VrpDqPe-1pqp Total BS. Cisco's SP business, under ex-Juniper JD, who re-joined Cisco in May 2017, has made its best numbers in 17 years. Cisco's stock is at its highest point in 19 years. Your comments about Cisco not only does not hold water, you clearly have no clue about Cisco's business. Cisco's new Cat9K is the largest selling switch in history of internet. Cisco's software offerings, which Juniper tried to copy but failed, such as Intent-based Routing, NSO, SDA, DNA etc. are selling faster very quarter as customers recognise that Cisco is now indeed a software company as well as a hardware one. Take a look at their stock price rise in last one year, i.e., if you are able to read, and you will get the picture. And yes, I am on the inside at Cisco too, as I was at Juniper once!

cisco is too busy beating itself to death with much the same mess and politics, its not a threat. i am on the inside :) cisco sp routing is in long death spiral that started some 5 years ago. there may be pockets of strength still left in switching.
When you have id--t, incompetent “VP’s” in charge of making decisions who got to their positions via questionable means, the friends and family system prevails. Dare challenge your id--t VP with diverse thinking, you are gone. The remainders, if they have talent, see the writing in the wall and can find jobs easily and are doing do. Juniper will be left with questionable VP’s, mediocre performers who can not get hired on the outside, or older employees who are too scared to leave and no-risk takers who NEVER challenge status quo.
