Pros

F5 takes good care of its employees. Our benefits package is absolutely stellar (better than Microsoft's has ever been, especially our health insurance). Pay is comparable to other tech companies in the area. The company culture is healthy, and the employees are all wonderful people. I'm approaching my 5 year anniversary at the company, and I'm very happy here.

Cons

My team specifically has had some management woes (several people in our management chain retired or left to work for non-profits in the span of 3 months) which were largely beyond the companies control, but we recently got things back in order and I'm happy with my team's new management.
