Good people all around to work with.
Trying hard to move to the cloud and containers but has no idea what they are doing.
Lackluster documentation.
Old-fashioned.
Loves to reinvent the wheel. They literally create products that they already own. For example, I was on a project where NGINX+ could have been used, but they went out to their dev teams to develop something similar to it. They did it, and the product sucks.
Training on "new" tech sucks.
Tech stack sucks.
Support engineers have no idea how to support the new products they have or are building. Unfortunately for these folks, that's the future.
LONG working hours during COVID - these guys don't care about you!
Do a better job on product development and management.
Train your employees, contractors, and vendors adequately to support your new tech stack.
Practice more empathy for your employees. Don’t overwork them to death during a pandemic.
Don’t be bigger idiots.
The interview process was average, but it felt like a time waste. After getting into multiple discussions, F5 offered ~15% on my current salary. If you are thinking of applying for any position at F5, do clear your expectations with HR and get them
It starts with phone and remote programming challenges. If you're good, they invite you for technical and HR on-site interviews. The on-site interviews were not 1:1s but with a team of two interviewers. If they wanted to move fast, you could expect
I had 5 rounds of interviews. 4 of them were technical, and the 5th was a lunch interview. The 4 technical rounds were taken by TAMs that will be working once hired. The lunch round was casual/slightly technical.
