Confused leadership and a lot of disconnect between layers
Confused leadership and a lot of disconnect between layers
Juniper is probably still among the best places to work if you get into a good project. Depending on the project, you have a good work/life balance, and most people are really smart and know what they are doing.
Nepotism is rampant in the workplace. People are judged (and rewarded) by the coolness of the project they are in. If you are in an unsexy project, you have limited growth. The same people keep hopping to the next cool project in the company and have no accountability for the failed projects because of this. Too many acquisitions have gone down the drain. They simply don't know how to make the acquisitions work.
People should be rewarded based on their efforts and smarts, not the coolness of the project they are in.
Retaining your talent drain should be a higher priority than what it is now.
