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

Good life/work balance - the code development branch is locked all the time, gives employees plenty of time to goof off

Cons

Promotions are impossible unless you threaten to leave No bonus this year (well, maybe other people think a 4% annual bonus is a 'bonus') Innovation is non-existent This whole JUNOS transformation thing is going to be so painful I don't want to be around when that cascade of disasters hits

Pros

- Lots of holidays and wellness days. - Most of the managers, that are below director level, are good. - Bonuses tended to be pretty decent up until now. They have now changed the pay out to once a year.

Cons

- Quality of everything has been dropping for years. From their support to their operating system. This has caused numerous headaches for their customers and for the employees that have to smooth things over. - They are really hyping AI and AI-driven products that will make many of their employees(and other network engineers) obsolete. - Their first priority is making money, no matter if a person is toxic or the means are unethical. They will sweep legal problems under the rug and have had lawsuits filed against them. - With their upcoming acquisition by HPE, near everyone there is in a panic over what the future holds for them employment-wise. Hiring on now would be a major risk as there will definitely be layoffs. - Juniper makes up such a small section of the marketplace, that engineers have a hard time finding work in other networks after Juniper. - The company has no loyalty to its employees. Many great and long-term employees have been laid off in the past 7 months.
