Pros

Leader in ADC market with a clear vision of expansion into other markets (security, firewall, cloud). There is still a startup mood at F5. Good salary, great people at work. Good medical insurance + flex-plan + ESPP.

Cons

San Jose office is boring. Seattle is better. Tel Aviv office is good. Tomsk office is the best. There is no culture at F5. No hackathons, no beer parties, no pet projects. Bad communication between different teams. Micromanagement. Lots of hiring recently which bloated once a small company. Some junk hires.

Pros

Stocks are doing great Kitchen stocked up with snacks once in 2 weeks I guess Benefits are good

Cons

Used to be a great company. Work culture is very bad. Management grows worse day by day. Setting unachievable goals and forcing employees to show up on weekends and holidays for the sake of showing up but not really concerned about people being productive. Management does not hear you. Have never seen such a bad work culture in my prior experiences

Pros

The company has continued to succeed while others have failed. Face it, networking makes the world go round. Overall, their is a culture of respect within the company, at least within core development. Peers respect each other, and there is definite room for growth in each group.

Cons

Development runs the company, which is great if your in development, but makes most all other positions a little less interesting. Among the companies I have worked for, and of those I have invested in, I can say those driven by development never grow to the heights of those companies that listen to all of their functional groups equally.
