F5 reviews

No recent salary increases. Pay is not as high as other companies. Bonus is only ever stock. Rto mandate even though you're team is in different states and countries, so you drive in for zoom meetings. It also doesn't take into account pto or sick days, so it encourages people to come in sick. (Told you have to "plan better" if you can't make minimum...). Half of your time will be meetings, more talking about how to do the work and not enough time to do it. Pto amount not super generous, wellness weekends help. Reorgs removed required roles that business is not refilling, so more non work put on others outside of sprint commitments.

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.
