What is a typical working day like at F5?

Salary, flexibility, managers, trust, technology

weekend coverage, night shift, limited career growth

F5 is a great place to work. I got a good exposure to multiple technologies and got a good amount of learning in less period.

We work in a cross collaborative environment which means we sometimes have late night calls outside working hours with other teams outside our work location.

- Good salary for freshers and new hires - Very good work life balance - Plenty of leaves - Free lunch and snacks - People are good

- Legacy tech stacks - No learning and growth - No career progression - No merit based promotion, you need to complete n number of years to get promoted, no matter how well you have performed over the year - Frequently changing policies are no more employee centric (like shifting of quarterly bonus to annually) - Managers play game but you won't notice. They are well trained to manipulate employees in diplomatic way - Frequent layoffs (includes high performers too) - Plenty of leaves, but people are not taking (management should motivate to take off) - People showing off their work by being active on teams and git on weekends and during late nights (honestly, we don't have that much work) - Managers expecting (though not forcing) everyone to join late night meetings (even if we are optional)
