F5 Employee Reviews about "great people"

The people are great and are happy with what they do. They are smart but without the arrogance. There are also a wide range of technical problems to be tackled so there is bound to be something for everyone.

Growth opportunities appear to be limited for those interested in the more technical route. Tribal knowledge is also a problem.

Nothing I can think so far. Career development can be challenging in certain departments

Not as known as an employer.

Communication at the bottom level of management can be lacking, based upon the team that you're on, but at the top level it is stellar. Sometimes forward momentum seems to get slogged in growing bureaucracy, but that's a growing pains symptom.
