Outsourcing IT work

Recommend
CEO approval
Business Outlook

Pros

The company benefits are outstanding. The work/life balance is very good.

Cons

f5 suffers from the fate of being a relatively small company while rapidly growing. As such they tend to cut corners to get things done quickly without considering the long term consequences. Currently they are actively outsourcing much of their IT applications work instead of using in-house talent. This is driving the in-house employees to consider seeking other employers. Also the management within the IT department is scattered. They are not interested in engaging with their employees and tend to turn a blind eye to their employees' concerns, particularly when it comes to work that has been outsourced to 3rd parties that are providing low quality results.

Great Company but lacking support

Pros

The company is great, they are good to their employees. The benefits are really good and bonuses and commissions were great as well especially on my team. Beer Fridays were fun and there was always entertainment and events going on in the summer time.

Cons

Dysfunctional teams that were constantly undermanned and forced to get more and more revenue without more support.

F5 Networks NSE II Position

Recommend

Business Outlook

Pros

The company has great benefits. They provide good training. They do alot for the community. I worked with some really top notch engineers.

Cons

NSE job is a grind due to the immense work load especially through the retail holiday season. The software was getting so buggy that customer sat was dropping. The documentation is way behind and not clear to customers.
