      Pros

      -nice technology and opportunity to learn a lot -chance to see a company that is doing well finally -many interesting people to meet -if you can play politic you can definitely success there -good benefits

      Cons

      -they don't focus on employees. they don't care if you stay with them or not -overall communication with management is terrible. There are some 1st level mgmt that are fine but majority of them are only interested in their own carrier and bonuses -commuting to chertsay is really bad -there are really nice people who work there but because work balance is bad you don't have a chance to socialize -stats driven environment; a lot of politic -came to Glassdoor because I'm looking for a new job. seeing so many high positive review about the company I'm very suspicious that many of these can be fakes

      Pros

      Very flexible hours. Very hands-off management. Great company benefits, and a couple employee recognition programs that are second to none. Annual company sponsored vacation for 50 employees to tropical location. Selection is based on one of the employee recognition programs I mention above. Good salary, aimed at retention. Actively avoids laying off staff when product lines are cut. Recently this meant repurposing the roles of the better part of an entire remote office, but repurpose them they did, and I'm not aware of any large-scale layoffs (or any at all, for that matter).

      Cons

      All those benefits occasionally require some long hours (depending on position, of course). Currently migrating towards a more "efficient" cubicle system, which really means that sizes of the cubes are smaller than what has been used so far. Not much else to complain about; F5 has it's act together and a lot of emphasis is placed on employee satisfaction.
