Juniper Networks

The money is good and has benefits.

Inexperienced management is being hired, which drives away talent.

When I started, I had a manager that was a joy to work for. He loved the science of engineering constantly and supported our efforts, and the team ran smoothly. We did not have to explain why or what we did. We gave him a percentage of completion and used him for guidance.

Turnover here is getting worse. There is no solid structure or guidance. The department head only cares about meeting the numbers, not engineering, and intimidates his subordinates.

Gone are the days of teams interviewing new talent. One day you're working with a seasoned engineer, the next he is gone, and you're sitting next to someone from the data entry department trying to explain how to open a PDF file.

The culture for the Engineering Services department is to be a team player, not an engineer, or else!

If you are an experienced engineer, this is not the place for you. If you have a friend in management and you have no experience whatsoever, you will get a great paying position.

Great jobs are available, anything from an Eng 4, Staff, or even a manager's position, straight from a department store job with no degree, an Arts degree, or experience.

Management seems to think "HW" Engineering, not science. Really!!

Yes men rule the department. The new breed wants to please their boss and push projects through, ready or not.

If you are a current employee, be careful what you say. If you're not part of "the popular kids" gang, you will be targeted.

Note: Do not expect ANY training other than corporate e-mails reminding you of company policy, which management fails to read and implement.

No advice to management; they don't seem to listen. Advice to shareholders: start holding someone accountable and get a seasoned network CEO in place of the current one.
