Pros

Benefits are great and culture is generally positive. Most managers make an effort to help you advance your career and grow as an employee.

Cons

F5 is now a big company that desperately tries but does not succeed in keeping that small company feel. Projects take years to complete. At times it feels like there are committees for committees. Getting budget is always a battle. In the end it's no different than any other big 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.
