Pros

Modern corporate culture, good but declining wages/benefits and working conditions in some locations.

Cons

Modern corporate culture (both pro and con, you figure it out) If you're working in the "New F5" part of the company I'm sure it's an exciting place. For those working to expand and support current product lines that aren't in the limelight, it isn't near as nice - sorry. Compensation years ago was very competitive. Recently it hasn't kept up with inflation or the market; at least in my area. Work/life balance depends on where you are. 60-80 hours/week and early+late meetings are the norm where I am.

Pros

* I enjoyed the collaborative team culture. Everyone was supportive and willing to help each other. * The work-life balance was good, and the overall working environment was relatively low stress. * I had opportunities to work on large-scale enterprise products and collaborate with cross-functional teams.

Cons

* One area I felt could be improved was compensation growth. As my responsibilities and technical skills expanded, I was looking for opportunities that offered stronger career and compensation progression.

Great benefits, wellness and mental health considerations.

Cons

Organization seems to be influx about where they are heading. Makes it hard to create goals for the entire org and get proper direction.
