Pros

F5 has excellent pay, perks, and benefits. Work culture is inclusive, respectful, and values input from all levels. Great work/life balance.

Cons

F5 can be very bureaucratic, and has fumbled through reorgs in recent years. Work culture in the non-technical departments is less favorable.

Pros

Absolutely outstanding company to work for in terms of salary, stock, and opportunity to make a difference. Many challenges present interesting opportunities for advancement and the CEO is an individual who makes sound business decisions so it has been a very stable company over the years. Very lean flat organization so the opportunity to work with senior and executive management is unique in my experience as compared to most other companies.

Cons

In the process of being sold and revenue growth is minimal. A cash cow which means investment is likely tight both in new product development and hiring. their best days are likely behind then in terms of being able to offer a stable work environment in which to build a long career.

Pros

Good work life balance, generous PTO, laid back work environment, good pay, good downtown location

Cons

"silo" team structure. Poor team to team communication. Currently in CEO transition. Seems that there is a lack of consensus on what company's core competency is.
