F5 is the most employee-friendly place I've ever worked
F5 has excellent pay, perks, and benefits. The work culture is inclusive, respectful, and values input from all levels. Great work/life balance.
F5 can be very bureaucratic, and has fumbled through reorganizations in recent years. Work culture in the non-technical departments is less favorable.
Communication of company direction, relative to the market or to internal affairs, needs to be prompt, clear, and authoritative. Recent indecision in upper management has resulted in a substantial increase in political maneuvering at lower levels, which does not benefit the company.
