Pros

I hear many companies preach a corporate culture that is inclusive with all sorts of benefits to check off boxes, but F5 actually lives this. There are huge numbers of females in leadership roles across the whole company. There are countless opportunities from mentorship to continued education to help you be successful in your career. The benefits are unmatched with very flexible working from home options, maternity leave, great 401(k), amazing health care and a wonderful environment to work in. Often you hear horror stories of tech companies setting expectations of 60-80hr work weeks and that is not at all the case at F5. They highly value work-life balance/employee morale and are quick to bring in consultants or new hires if someone becomes overloaded. The teams are very inclusive and feedback is sought after from upper management constantly to make sure team members are heard. The pay is highly competitive and there are great perks. I am loving my time here and couldn't think of a reason to leave!

Cons

If you don't come from a tech/network security background it can be difficult to fully understand the business at first, but there are many resources made available to get up to speed.
