Juniper Networks

Good Immigration Policy

Company in general has an excellent leadership canopy. Very intelligent engineers, mainly on the Routing side. Extremely smart CEO/CTO and great Senior Engineers.

Switching sides is a big mess:

1. Zero negative work-life balance. Almost every weekend, the engineers are asked to work.

2. The whole switching BU overcommits to projects and sets unrealistic goals, tying them further to bonuses. Overcommitting makes the lives of engineers a mess.

3. Zero diversity. It looks like they only want to hire people from one particular part of the world so that they can overwork them without complaints.

4. Juniper Networks (at least the switching side) is not the highest-paying employer; they don't even come close to a livable pay in the Bay Area.

5. Extremely toxic managers/directors and beyond; micromanagement is a virtue to have here.

The upper middle management wants to show they can deliver, only by making engineers' lives hell.

You are a great company. If changes are not made in higher management, people will leave. A lot of them have already left. Conserve what you have and make BUs, except RBU, workable.
