Smart Team, Toxic Management
Smart Team, Toxic Management
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:
-
Zero negative work-life balance. Almost every weekend, the engineers are asked to work.
-
The whole switching BU overcommits to projects and sets unrealistic goals, tying them further to bonuses. Overcommitting makes the lives of engineers a mess.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
