Hi GeekMBA360, last year they made it in the Forbes top 100 companies to work for and I think the employees that were interviewed were probably those that are well compensated and are mostly manager level. Management seems to be in favor with a certain cultural group (I don't need to mention which specific one). Do you ever hear Juniper layoffs in the news? Cisco, Sun, Lockheed Martin, Yahoo and many other big companies announce their layoffs so why not Juniper? It's like Juniper has to hide something from the public.

Thanks for your comment!

I think I saw somewhere that Juniper is one of the best companies to work for. Is it the case or not? I tend to be skeptical about those lists. Your comment only added to my skepticism. :-)

Juniper is very "secretive" with its management strategies and poor communication exists throughout the entire company. Be prepared!

I fully agree withy you on this. You would however find exceptions to this though. I have been fortunate to work with Sun Microsystem. Sun has always been transparent and open about its re-org a.k.a layoffs. Though I am oner of the impacted employee I ave all praise for Sun and hope that it start shining again....
