F5 does not value employees

Pros

Great Product, Great Reputation, Leader in Load balancer market

Cons

Executives are missing the mark, vision and execution are a big miss for the last 5 years. They haven't rebranded themselves. Buying companies for too much and not integrating them. Its still 4 different companies. They do not value people. They say people first but its all talk
