Great company to work for
Great company to work for
Good managers and coworkers.
A friendly culture within the company encourages people to work with each other instead of competing against each other.
Good product and technology in the ADC product space.
Flexible working schedule and reasonable workload suitable for many middle-aged tech workers.
Turnover ratio is relatively low among high-tech companies.
Multiple teams across different geographical locations make it harder to manage. (F5 is still a medium-sized development house.) Different teams working on a single product (BIG-IP) make it harder and harder to manage.
Give more opportunities for inside people to move up the management ladder, instead of mostly hiring management from outside.
