Pros

The people are very nice, not a lot of office politics, new campus is nice, decent food options, easy commute.

Cons

Where to begin? Somewhere between the amateur product launches, the lack of innovation in security, and the myopic view of GTM strategy, Juniper has really lost it's way. And now with a retrenchment in SDN, Security, a new CEO, an investor rebellion (actually surrender - it's amazing how much we caved after our most successful year ever), and the massive layoffs, all of the good people are voting with their feet and finding the exits. What you have left is a cadre of mediocre, long tenured "B" and "C" players who are being asked to reinvent Juniper without any consequence for their poor decisions of the past 4-5 years that have left Juniper so vulnerable. It is all pretty sad because they build aspirational products that can compete with any competitor, however they are just beyond lost when it comes to operations and executing a business strategy. My prediction - within 36 months Juniper will be sold. It did not have to be this way, but it is what it is...

Pros

Competitive salary at time of hiring with bonus and RSU's. Good benefits and unlimited time off.

Cons

Management chose to personally throttle amount of time off of their employees equivalent to a junior workforce member, despite unlimited PTO. Negative and boarder line abusive direct management and lacking in positive team building. Management preference to maintain status quo and minimize risk at cost of employee job satisfaction instead of embracing transformative and design approach.
