Pros

I'm working in Russian PD office, located in the city of Tomsk. F5 provides all you need to work, good life insurance program, free lunch and we are paying football twice a week. If you are a team player with good communication and technical skills you will be promoted, if not you have to improve yourself. Good salary for Tomsk.

Cons

Some process are to long. But it is related to a big team. e.g. you need to bay a new license for a framework. But you will get all you need, you have to wait some time and be prepared to wait.

Pros

Interesting technology domain part of culture is to be open to making non-trivial changes to the product(s), when makes sense of course, i.e. not conservative engineering environment. Smart engineers, helping each other.

Cons

This is very engineering focused company, with very good engineers. Make sure externally hired managers do not degrade the culture and qualities outlined in Pros. Internal infrastructure could be more efficient.

Pros

These guys know how to do things right. Product portfolio growing to keep on top of the market. They have vision and can execute. Remuneration is good and fair. You really have to work for though. Middle managers care about employees. This is rare and valued.

Cons

Busy can sometimes mean chaotic. It can be hard to keep on top of. Administrative procedures may be opaque at mid-level.
