Technically challenging and satisfying working environment

Business Outlook

Pros

Highly competent people work here, and produce high quality software for excellent hardware. A very open-minded engineering organization that allows room for creative processes. Very nice benefits. For the most part management facilitates engineers. The hiring process is geared toward a good fit rather than pure brilliance, but pure brilliance is not shunned by any means.

Cons

The company is transitioning from a small company to a medium size one, and there are some growing pains.

Business Outlook

Pros

F5 has a very high level of technical experience required in their work, and embodied in their employees. I love that there is a high technical bar, rather than settling for Good Enough, and that there are so many smart people who work here.

Cons

F5 is a company growing and maturing. That means they are still in search of what they will become when they are bigger, and face some struggles figuring out which new market opportunities are the right bets.

Pros

Supports and promotes a good work/life balance Pay is good and advancement opportunities are there as long as you dont mind switching teams or focus

Cons

Growing pains are the biggest issues I have seen, and there is some politicking between offices or teams, but Managers try to mitigate or eliminate it when they see it (at least mine do)
