Pros
Interesting and challenging problems to solve, extremely smart, yet humble co-workers, good compensation and work-life balance. As a developer, I've learned a lot and worked with some of the best and brightest.
Cons
Interview process could be improved to be more structured an consistent (speaking only from a developer in PD) -- this would help F5 continue to find the best people and also make it a better experience for interviewees. Like may multi-office companies, discord between offices sometimes gets out of hand.

Pros
-Offers almost all the good perks big companies in the valley offers. Premium-free high quality insurance, well stocked break rooms (all types of snacks, drinks, dairy, fruits, light breakfast, frozen food, etc.), 401k matching, life insurance, in-home doctors (only Seattle), etc. -Good compensation -Fast growing, high demand products, cutting edge technology. -Transparency. Though team dependent, management usually stands together with their employees even up to middle-high management. -Smart people-a cliche but true. Almost everyone has either worked at a top company or studied at a top school. -Average age is younger than other similar companies. Feels more dynamic and fun to work.
Cons
-Growing really fast. Office space is becoming a problem. -No transportation incentives (offers only pre-tax purchase) -Lack of company events in San Jose office -Recent growth started to create the "single-foreign culture" feeling that some other network companies usually have. Diversity is a key in any workplace.
