Pros

Good company that has grown well over past years. Many talented people that are great to work with. Decent/Competitive compensation. The company reward top performer well and provide good career growth opportunities.

Cons

Work/life balance varies depending on the organization and location. Many good talented people left F5. The company is much agile years ago and it's becoming much heavier now. This is not uncommon for a company growing rapidly. However, it is yet to be seen how the company maintain/evolve the culture and keep a good balance between heavy/inefficient process and agility (for both internal and customer challenges). Overall, F5 is still one of the best networking company in my opinion.

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.
