Used to be a great company - Anonymous employee F5 Employee Review

Executives do NOT have a plan of developing HW. Product Development department has lost lots of talents since last year, and they’re very important talents, architect, Sr director, principal etc, and still keep losing people. There are several reasons: Executive team keeps cutting HW budget, HW engineers are not treated well (in terms of raise, RSUs). There’s no clear future HW roadmap, executives just want to make Wall Street happy, focus on SW, no HW investment. Ironically this company is surviving just because of HW chassis.
