Personal Review
Dec 9, 2015 - Senior Specialist Systems Engineer - Security in Toronto, ONRecommendCEO ApprovalBusiness OutlookPros
atmosphere is great; hires the best talent available anywhere in the world; team dynamics are great and important to the company; product is market leading and well recognized; customers are happy with the product; people who stay with the company are zealots... stay here 12 months and you're an advocate
Cons
customer support hinders sales; sometimes working remote all the time can be challenging to learn new products or minor changes in focus; promotion within is challenging, likely the largest frustration for field staff; company is 24/7 and travel is required - although that's explained coming in, most people don't realize it... likely the biggest reason for someone leaving within a year

Pros
F5 is not like other corporates. Although F5 is considered a 'big' company with 4500+ employees, the company treats their employees as if it was a startup of 20 people. F5 is an industry leader and hardly ever lays off people. if you're looking for job security this is the place. processes are well defined and executed. The work-life balance is overall very pleasing in F5.
Cons
Not enough innovation and employees development plans / career opportunities. company needs to be more innovative to keep up with the industry otherwise it will be left behind.
- Current Employee, more than 1 year★★★★★

Cons
completely internally focused. the number is the only thing that matters. management is short sighted and lacks creativity and leadership. channel program is lackluster at best.
