Having previously worked in network engineering, this acquisition is huge. There's a lot of product overlap between HPE networking and Aruba compared to Juniper products. I doubt most of these products will be merged. Thus I'd think layoffs/reshuffling on either side are coming if they haven't already. Juniper is a heavy player in the service provider and enterprise network space. This would be a heavy hit to very valuable customers if certain products are discontinued or disrupted. https://newsroom.juniper.net/news/news-details/2024/HPE-to-Acquire-Juniper-Networks-to-Accelerate-AI-Driven-Innovation/ TC 240
Does HPE pay well?
Yeah ofc. They just paid 14B$.
I worked at HPE (in networking for over a decade). The numbers on levels.fyi are pretty accurate. The culture is VASTLY different from Amazon (slower, but also more deliberate).
