Pros

Great pay, great benefits, and great products. F5 has fun events for the employees. Good work/life balance depending on the role/department your in. Good company culture, although it changed with the new leadership, but will helpfully go back with the current transition.

Cons

The company makes products to work remote, but doesn't allow much telecommuting. Not much flexibility with work hours. Not a lot of growth opportunities within internal promotions and the pay increase is very limited if you're promoted from within vs being an external hire.

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.
