Pros

It's a very flexible and relaxed work environment, though that does depend on what department you work in. The medical benefits are comparatively very good, and over time, your PTO accrues at a comfortable rate.

Cons

F5 has not taken care of their employees to the level that anyone would consider fare during the pandemic. Merit increases have decreased steadily over the years while the workload has increased exponentially as a result of multiple acquisitions. The major behaviors touted as pillars for the company, such as people first and helping each other thrive, are not upheld by those at the highest levels of the company.

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.

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