Multiple phone interviews, followed by  a couple of on-site interviews. It was a great fit, since the work perfectly aligned with recent experience and all interviews went perfectly well including the interview with hiring manager. The final interview was with VP, who recently moved to this new role. I had never met a more unprofessional VP and I wonder how Juniper-like company can progress with such VP. Some of the most alarming comments I heard: (1) He boasted about how he moved from positions to positions every 2-3 years and he always rose and each time he switched, he brought people from a big pool he knew to fill up roles under him (2) I had 15+ years of experience and one of his comments was that one criterion for hiring me was not alignment of experience but rather whether I would be a good bet -  whether I already reached my peak, and whether I would only fall down from here - in other words hinted that I might be getting aged.  (3) Engineers who moved to Product Management plateaued in their career and never really made it big (I come from R&D before Product Management). I was sure he had a big role to play in my final rejection. If it was an accept, I am not sure whether I should have joined. I heard from Juniper alumni about the bullying nature of the VP. I sadly think of the plight of Juniper, if such an VP is leading an important organization as the company makes bold claims on transformation.
