F5 bases its success on teamwork, even with "competitor" companies. This is also reflected at the employee level. I have never had so much confidence, knowing that I can trust my teammates and other experienced people from other teams. You will always get help from others.
F5 does amazing work, "secretly" supporting things that millions of people worldwide use, from mobile carriers to banks, government agencies, etc. You feel the impact and the challenge, and that helps you respond with a commitment to excellence.
Very competitive salary, great benefits that challenge the huge multi-nationals. Plus, again, the culture is something that makes your day worth being in the office. The atmosphere where everybody understands we are in the same ship and we need to sail it together.
The company is growing really fast, and sometimes you get the feeling the company is not ready for it. However, it still feels like a start-up company that is learning and available to change in order to improve.
Keep the trust, which makes us respond with commitment. As the company keeps growing, I think management needs to speed up a little bit to keep up acquiring the "big company skills" for team/organizations management. I really love F5 and see myself here many years; I know you will make it possible.
