Pros

F5 provides great benefits and people generally have good work-life balance. They are in a solid technical field with an interesting product lineup. It's one of the few companies that help put Seattle on the map in the tech world.

Cons

Turf wars from low-level management on up, across the entire organization which makes a very exhausting and disappointing environment.

Pros

Balanced life and work, not very lay-back, not much over time as well. There are some talented engineers as well.

Cons

A lot of office politics in some groups, a lot of complex relationships, brothers, buddy, previous company co-workers. Some managers are very good at politics and kiss ass, no knowledge or work ethics.

Pros

Technical team is great, if cliquish. Benefits are solid company is financially solid, top management is sincere. Has large industry foot print.

Cons

Management is shaky at times, blames individual contributors for management failures. Does not always give notice nor severance. Small cubes, crowded noisy floors, hard to get creative. Lower and middle management does nto get enough or proper training.
