...latform team and all your skills get crucified as long as you stay in Juniper. Salary is good and often variable pay is swallowed by higher management which is big negative. Travel opportunity is NIL. Juniper is an alternative for Highly politically oriented company. Learning is zero. Work environment is pathetic as you are expected to work in every weekend, all holidays and even in long leaves. Innovation is zero. Work-life balance is pathetic, I personally felt like being in JAIL.

Just had to share this, I got a 100% hike!

I'm keeping this anonymous because I don’t want to disclose it in real life. After two years without a raise, I successfully negotiated a 100% increase at my current company. I focused on creating significant value and worked in cross-functional teams to learn as much as possible. There were times when I was overworked, but it was all worthwhile. I was confident that it was a mutually beneficial situation. My advice would be to choose your job wisely, create value in the right place, and don't be afraid to negotiate.
