Pros

F5 is chock full of very smart people who like to share what they know and have discovered. F5 is good about training employees, and F5 employees are good about using multiple avenues to share their knowledge. F5 is a market leader for its core product and has good offerings in related technologies.

Cons

It is hard to think of a con for F5. Some people grow weary of all the travel they have to do for their jobs, but a lot of jobs require little to no travel. Seattle is really nice, but it is a smaller urban area and far from many of F5's customers and business partners.
