Pros

Pay, benefits and perks all great. The company and many of the employees are big on charitable contributions and care about the community.

Cons

IT really frowns upon remote work, which is so surprising for a high-tech company. There were some REALLY bad managers who caused multiple good employees to leave, but even though HR and upper management was aware of the problems they did nothing. As the company grew, a lot of new management came in and the culture began to change. Less work-life balance - those putting in really long hours were the most valued. High turn-over in IT.

Pros

Great pay, great benefits, and great products. F5 has fun events for the employees. Good work/life balance depending on the role/department your in. Good company culture, although it changed with the new leadership, but will helpfully go back with the current transition.

Cons

The company makes products to work remote, but doesn't allow much telecommuting. Not much flexibility with work hours. Not a lot of growth opportunities within internal promotions and the pay increase is very limited if you're promoted from within vs being an external hire.
