Pros

Supports and promotes a good work/life balance Pay is good and advancement opportunities are there as long as you dont mind switching teams or focus

Cons

Growing pains are the biggest issues I have seen, and there is some politicking between offices or teams, but Managers try to mitigate or eliminate it when they see it (at least mine do)

Pros

Good management. Trust in people. Good employees to work with. Very happy, all round.

Cons

able to retain their market share in their core competency area., but very conservative in trying to enter into new markets, and growing into a even bigger company in terms of revenue and market cap.

Pros

Good managers and coworkers. Friendly culture within the company that encourages people to work with each other instead of competing against each other. Good product and technology in the ADC product space. Flexible working schedule and reasonable work load suitable for many middle age tech workers. Turn over ratio relatively low among high tech companies.

Cons

Multiple teams across different geographical locations make it harder to management (F5 is still a medium size development house). Different teams working on a single product (BIG/IP) make it harder and harder to manage.
