Pros

Good management. Trust in people. Good employees to work with. Very happy, all round.

Cons

able to retain their market share in their core competency area., but very conservative in trying to enter into new markets, and growing into a even bigger company in terms of revenue and market cap.

Pros

Good managers and coworkers. Friendly culture within the company that encourages people to work with each other instead of competing against each other. Good product and technology in the ADC product space. Flexible working schedule and reasonable work load suitable for many middle age tech workers. Turn over ratio relatively low among high tech companies.

Cons

Multiple teams across different geographical locations make it harder to management (F5 is still a medium size development house). Different teams working on a single product (BIG/IP) make it harder and harder to manage.

Pros

I am constantly trying to recruit my friends to work at F5 -- and by the way I am NOT a recruiter so that says a lot. I've been with the company for 8 years and during that time a day has not gone by where I haven't been thankful to have landed at such a great company. The people I work with are smart, dedicate and extremely enjoyable to be around. The leadership team is super solid, down to earth and willing to listen to employees. We have an awesome rewards program which treats us technical people to the exact same perks as our sales colleagues who usually get the "exclusive" trip incentives! Not at f5! I have been fortunate enough to have been selected for our Five Star Trip in past years which includes people outside of sales...completely unheard of in other companies I'm familiar with. Our culture is awesome, our gameroom, food, parties are fantastic, our technology is the "Ferrari" in the industry -- what more could you want?

Cons

Because we're a growing company, I think communication is our biggest challenge. It can be tough at times to keep everyone in the loop and on the same page.
