Not bad, not good

Pros

It's a very flexible and relaxed work environment, though that does depend on what department you work in. The medical benefits are comparatively very good, and over time, your PTO accrues at a comfortable rate.

Cons

F5 has not taken care of their employees to the level that anyone would consider fare during the pandemic. Merit increases have decreased steadily over the years while the workload has increased exponentially as a result of multiple acquisitions. The major behaviors touted as pillars for the company, such as people first and helping each other thrive, are not upheld by those at the highest levels of the company.

Pros

Lot's of great people. The company is very attentive to human needs and increasing engagement. Customers are loyal because of the long term relationships and great service. The work-life balance can be great or terrible depending on your boss, but for the most part it is better than competitors.

Cons

Pay doesn't keep up with the market. The company is struggling to move into software and cloud businesses. Lots of organizational churn that marginalizes long time employees.
