Pros

I believe that F5 cares about its human-first reputation and doing the right thing. I trust the C-level executives and their vision. Lower management and individual contributors are both talented and strategic.

Cons

F5 is experiencing a lot of change, not all of it is necessary at once. At times, senior management direction feels like a disconnect from C-level strategy. Lots of new leaders are bringing lots of new ideas, but aren't always connected to the less-exciting work we have to maintain. Burnout is common.

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.
