Pros

The general people. No matter if you are virtual or in office the people are the best part of this company.

Cons

The return to office plan. We are a thriving company that shifted to remote work and delivered strong results the last three years. Do not work here if you can avoid it - flexibility is hit or miss and the leadership is out of touch. Top leader made 12.8 million dollars working at F5 in 2022 based on public information.

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.
