Juniper Networks

Depended greatly upon the direct manager. If the manager made it so, you had chances for training, travel for presentations, book purchases, software purchases, and experimentation with new ways of doing things.

Layoffs at least twice a year to make books look good. For the employees who remained, continual reorgs and churn. You never knew who would be behind your VP's desk, or which VP you'd report to, on any given day.

Cut it out with the giant twice-yearly layoffs (plus smaller prunings at the end of the other quarters). It ruins morale.

On the other hand, good job at starting to get act together around product offerings and software direction.
