Pros

Reasonably good work life balance

Cons

1. The CEO doesn't walk the talk 2. 2 years in the last 5 without salary increases 3. Low salary increases when they do happen 4. Several acquisitions that don't integrate or make much sense to long term goals 5. General distrust of senior execs 6. Maximum quota for promotions 7. Different benefits based on location, good if you're in USA 8. Very little scope for career advancement 9. Below industry standard for pay scale 10. All hoping for Palo Alto offers 11. Forcing everyone back to the office when the past 3 years proved that working from home was equally productive.

Worsening work life balance and on decay

Pros

Before it used to be okay but bearable because of the remote working options, now it doesn't have much going for it.

Cons

One of the things that made F5 special was its flexibility when it came to remote work options - recently the CEO decided to change this and now it will be mandatory for employees to assist 30 days every quarter, ridiculous. Imagine letting go of one the things that made you special - the reason? People that go to the office feel low energy when around few people so they want more people in the office, ha. Also bad work life balance in general, not enough people for the existing workload.

Pros

Salary is good. They provide you shares of the company. Office is cool.

Cons

They tend to promote their favorites based on personal feelings and "friendship" They value their customers over their employees. Stressful "HR" (A.F.) at least in Mexico is useless.
