F5 reviews

The company like other infrastructure providers is being disrupted by the cloud providers, unclear if the new CEO has a viable execution plan. A very meeting heavy culture, where often candid views are neither shared nor espoused.

Not much opportunity to grow or move up. Applying for another job in the company can get you branded as "disloyal" to your "team" and damage your career. (It happened to me, which is why I'm back at Microsoft now.) Weak manager ranks. You won't be working with the best and the brightest. Retired CEO had to return when his replacement was fired by the board of directors. F5 is not investing in infrastructure, software, facilities. A significant percentage of employees don't have university degrees.; you'll be working with trade school types. F5 technology is still on premises when everyone is moving to the cloud. Confused product portfolio and roadmap.
