Pros

Generally collaborative friendly environment Pretty sedate pace most of the time Comp + benefits decent

Cons

Product roadmap pretty weak so not exciting work (lots of focus on new acquisitions that haven’t panned out or refreshes). Leadership at team/GM level is hit or miss. Mostly very self assured when not necessarily justified. E.g. confidence not proven out by product CAGR. Culture shifted in bad way with some external hires outside PMM. Lots of preening and toxic behavior. Very limited support for PMM team or function in marketing and product orgs. No new heads, no promotions, no respect. Dont be into F5 for the stock performance. Lots of turnover in PMM for these reasons. Used to be good working with PM and marketing to get stuff accomplished. Now just frustrating with a small number of exceptions.

Pros

Many talented nice people to work with. In my experience, the culture has always been positive & cohesive. The business transformation appears to be working under Francois' leadership. Software growth is really taking off, I feel we are well positioned for the foreseeable future. The tower in Seattle is a very nice place to work.

Cons

As with most tech companies, there is a left leaning undertone. If you are more conservative, you'll just have to make a little effort to play along with the nonsense.
