Pros

Good benefit, used to be very good especially on insurance and etc. Used to be a great place to work at and have work-life balance OK Salary

Cons

very bad management recently, asked to work over weekends, very bad project planning and management, some team were hired and paid very high just because of Foundry, very hard to get promoted if you are not some one in higher management radar, aka not in the core project,

Outstanding Technology Company

Pros

Strong products, good training, smart people, good pay and benefits, senior management seems to know what they are doing, fairly easy to move between jobs within the company. Oh, and it is based in Seattle. If you do not mind a bit of rain, this is one of the best places in the world to live.

Cons

Well, in the end, it is still a job. You do have to show up and get the job done..

Pros

Leader in ADC market with a clear vision of expansion into other markets (security, firewall, cloud). There is still a startup mood at F5. Good salary, great people at work. Good medical insurance + flex-plan + ESPP.

Cons

San Jose office is boring. Seattle is better. Tel Aviv office is good. Tomsk office is the best. There is no culture at F5. No hackathons, no beer parties, no pet projects. Bad communication between different teams. Micromanagement. Lots of hiring recently which bloated once a small company. Some junk hires.
