Pros

The enviroment at Sales Management team is very good everyone try to help each other.

Cons

There is no much space to grow since the team is small and most of the decision are in USA. So from the people outside is very difficult to have a promotion.

Pros

Great place to work if you like to travel for business; you'll see many new places. Benefits are generally good.

Cons

Traveling might reach up 90% of your time at some periods. It's not so easy to change roles.

Pros

In 4 years I received 3 promotions, got RSUs, and yearly salary increases. They sent me on an international all expenses paid trip with my family for doing outstanding work. My time is extremely flexible, and they pay me to ride my bike to work instead of driving. F5 is a company that puts some effort behind their belief that their employees matter, from very flexible about work hours, to pay, to matching 401k contributions, great health coverage, and good salary. Keeping a good work/life balance is not penalized, even implicitly. Promotion from within is very common, and working your way up from the starting position is absolutely achievable.

Cons

Because there are a lot of smart people, sometimes it's hard to get cross-organizational change to happen, as everyone has a good reason for their own agenda.

We have formed a Director Team with Manny Rivelo as the EVP sponsor. One of the top priorities is to develop opportunities for collaboration across functions. If you have any project ideas, please let the Director of your group know so that they can bring it to the team. Thanks for your comments!
