Pros

- Average pay - People first company - Knowledgeable peers - Work is challenging and you get to work on good tech stacks, Interesting projects

Cons

F5 was known to be a people first company but since past few months, there's been a great load of work pressure. Indian teams' deadlines are difficult to reach without opening laptops on weekends. Also, the constant gifts sent to employees has stopped altogether. Seems like upper management has had some changes in US and Indian teams (most productive) are suffering.
