Pros

I hear many companies preach a corporate culture that is inclusive with all sorts of benefits to check off boxes, but F5 actually lives this. There are huge numbers of females in leadership roles across the whole company. There are countless opportunities from mentorship to continued education to help you be successful in your career. The benefits are unmatched with very flexible working from home options, maternity leave, great 401(k), amazing health care and a wonderful environment to work in. Often you hear horror stories of tech companies setting expectations of 60-80hr work weeks and that is not at all the case at F5. They highly value work-life balance/employee morale and are quick to bring in consultants or new hires if someone becomes overloaded. The teams are very inclusive and feedback is sought after from upper management constantly to make sure team members are heard. The pay is highly competitive and there are great perks. I am loving my time here and couldn't think of a reason to leave!

Cons

If you don't come from a tech/network security background it can be difficult to fully understand the business at first, but there are many resources made available to get up to speed.

Pros

Great team, great security solutions, pay was above average

Cons

Company is behind the curve on the cloud. Little to no coordination between marketing and sales. No coordinated marketing collateral. On your own...

Pros

Great Salary, good benefit, technology leader, great work / life balance

Cons

Middle management (below VP), horrendous. A very clique company, the Israel team is based of original M&A team acquired > 10 years ago. Most development teams work together to hide caveats from upper management. Criticism is never accepted, it's my way or the highway
