Nothing makes you feel welcome at your new job like a gushing press release, a six-figure bonus, and more stock options than you can stuff in a gift bag.

According to an 8-K filed Tuesday, Juniper Networks of Sunnyvale announced that it had lured Robyn M. Denholm away from her job as a senior vice president at Sun Microsystems to be its new chief financial officer. Here’s Scott Kriens, Juniper Networks’ chairman and CEO, gushing in the press release:

“Drawing from nearly 25 years of hands-on financial experience with recognized leaders, I know that Robyn will be a valuable contributor in assessing the financial implications of all major business decisions and providing strategic input toward shaping Juniper’s global business objectives and future success.”

Aw, shucks.

As head bean counter, Denholm will get an annual salary of $480,000, a chance to earn a performance bonus worth the same, and a $250,000 signing bonus. The company also threw in 250,000 stock options and another 45,000 restricted stock units.
