      Pros

      * Relatively diverse for a tech company * Good work/life balance * Compensation and benefits are generally good * Core ADC market is steadily growing, despite the cloud

      Cons

      * Career prognosis depends on position in org chart. The higher up you are, the more secure you are. It's full on Game of Thrones here. * Teams operate independently as silos, without strong PM leadership * Poor technical planning. Specs are mostly absent or seriously deficient. * Poor learning culture * Actively outsourcing hundreds of jobs to India/Mexico

      Pros

      * I enjoyed the collaborative team culture. Everyone was supportive and willing to help each other. * The work-life balance was good, and the overall working environment was relatively low stress. * I had opportunities to work on large-scale enterprise products and collaborate with cross-functional teams.

      Cons

      * One area I felt could be improved was compensation growth. As my responsibilities and technical skills expanded, I was looking for opportunities that offered stronger career and compensation progression.
