Great company to work with

Pros

Exciting technology, smart people, great culture. There is always something new and exciting going on particularly in our field: security and cloud. Can't say enough positive things about this company

Cons

The company runs a tight ship and each employee is expected to perform at their best. It isn't necessarily a con, but if you are the one that just want to cruise and be lazy, this company isn't for you.

Good Company For Some...

Pros

Good salary and benefits, new senior management, many good-friendly people to work with. This company is trying to change and become a well-rounded company.

Cons

If you're a Product Manager, F5 isn't the place for you. This is an engineering-focus company and engineering with do what they want - regardless of what what committed. A recent re-org placed product management under the CTO - makes it even worse. Severe lack of team work and collaboration, the company places a high priority of big egos and down-right unprofessional people - a friendly work environment is not important here.
