Pros

used to be a good place to work.

Cons

the rank and file have lost faith in our ceo and upper management. it's clear they care more about propping up the stock price for the short term vs making good products and maintaining the business. it's a gross look to announce $1B stock buybacks and cut good staff the next. there's been a serious brain drain underneath the current "leadership".

I Miss the Old F5

Pros

- Love some of my coworkers and have made some lifelong friends - My direct managers have been awesome and have helped me grow - Health insurance is insanely good - While I disagree with RTO, the office is nice - Work-Life Balance is pretty solid

Cons

- IT Upper management has absolutely no idea what they are doing. The blend of incompetence and sometimes borderline hostility from management has put us in a very bad spot. The recent re-org was and continues to be the worst roll out I have experienced. From what I can see, morale is at an all time low and no one knows what to do. Any time we think we are going to get an update, meetings get cancelled. Most questions get answered with anywhere between "I don't know" and "We will have to see". Productivity seems to have been effectively shut down while management decides what to do with the re-org. - Layoffs, followed by a re-org, then followed by RTO is not the way to keep talent at F5. - Compensation is all over the place. HR will work against you when it comes to being fairly compensated.
