F5 is an awesome place to work. It's the leader in its market (ADC) and now expanding into other markets
Leader in the ADC market with a clear vision of expansion into other markets (security, firewall, cloud).
There is still a startup mood at F5.
Good salary, great people at work.
Good medical insurance, flex-plan, and ESPP.
The San Jose office is boring. Seattle is better. The Tel Aviv office is good. The Tomsk office is the best.
There is no culture at F5. No hackathons, no beer parties, no pet projects.
There is bad communication between different teams.
There is micromanagement.
Lots of hiring recently has bloated a once small company. Some junk hires were made.
Listen to your employees; they have great ideas.
Not all ideas should come from PMs. Some engineers are better than PMs at identifying the vision.
