Back to wasting our lives commuting!
Back to wasting our lives commuting!
Coherent strategy and compelling vision.
layoffs and cut remote work options in half in a region with some of the worst traffic in the world.
I face 240 hours a year commuting. Others face double that.
All to satisfy the (few) extroverts who miss the "energy" of a crowded workplace.
Fully remote competitors will have a field day poaching employees.
This may be by design; F5 hasn't been hiring technical employees in the USA for years.
Imposing this massive financial and personal cost for no reason is a mistake. Nobody gains; not me, not F5. I won't get any more done at a "hotel" workspace. Coming after the literal decimation of the workforce, this is a massive hit to my morale.

F5 looks for the best, not people with the right bullet points on their resume. Rather, they look for people with an aptitude and hunger for learning. Most of my interview questions were not about product knowledge. Instead, they delved into advance

1st round: test. 2nd round: C++, Linux basics. Asked if I have any cloud or DevOps skills. A small program. 3rd round: managerial, which was again a C++ program and discussed about my projects in resume. Final round: HR round.
