      Pros

      Casual and relaxed atmosphere. Work life balance. Quarterly bonus . Awesome new CEO. Good health benefits. Excellent commute options (paid vanpool) Nice office location (Seattle)

      Cons

      Company vision and direction still evolving under new CEO. Too much confusion around product priorities Poor collaboration between different groups. Too much politics and castle building in Product Development middle management. One can grow in PD only if he actively participates in dirty politics. Top is full of old timers who have only worked in F5 all their life and most of them don't have a clue how industry is evolving.

      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.
