Pros

Benefits package is very good for the most part. Flexible/Alternate work schedules and work from home are finally permitted.

Cons

F5 has far too many initiatives and all have unrealistic timelines and expectations. Their top performers are burnt out because F5 will not bring on adequate resources. Middle management takes on zero responsibility, yet has a control freak out whenever Agile is mentioned. There is no career path for anyone. Promotions are random and based purely on relationships not goals or performance (in spite of what the CIO openly states). If you are a woman with a strong view point, you will not be wanted in this org. Yes, they want women, but only those that fit the male ideal of what a woman says and does.

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.
