I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at F5 (San Jose, CA) in Oct 2018
Interview
Multiple interviews with phased steps. Interviewees were from different levels within the organization. Technical, business, market, and behavioral questions asked. Question asked, Why do you want to leave (or have left) your current job?
What are your salary expectations?
Why do you want this job?
Why F5?
The process took 3 months. I interviewed at F5 (Seattle, WA) in Sept 2023
Interview
I had a very good experience with several rounds of 1:1 peer-level interviews and a panel interview with (potential) direct reports. Everyone was incredibly professional and gave me their full attention.

I applied online. The process took 5 months. I interviewed at F5 (Seattle, WA)
Interview
Contacted 1+ month after submitting resume. Moderate-depth screener with HR. Scheduled within 3 weeks for interviews with small leadership team running this newly acquired F5 subsidiary. Short portfolio presentation over Zoom, followed by 1:1 interviews with hiring manager and peer directors/managers. Then... nothing. Got no response from repeated friendly requests to HR for status. Finally received a form email 4 MONTHS after the interviews. Not a great candidate experience.
