Pros

* A10 has a cash cow in the ADC market with its Thunder load balancers * Management is making savvy, proactive investments into the higher-growth markets, like security and virtualization (the stock price *could* take off like a rocket if/when these products begin capturing market share) * The stock (and options) are well-priced (A10’s P/S multiple is about 1.5x revenue, whereas F5 is valued at a multiple of 5x sales, even though A10 is growing much faster than F5); so the stock options and ESPP plan seem to offer a very compelling value for any new employees * 401k (recently added company-match!) * Decent health care plans (low deductible of $250 per family member is pretty good; most companies' health care plans have a $2,000 deductible per family member) * Salary (seems competitive to F5 and Riverbed, based on anecdotal evidence) * Flexible work hours (you can work almost any hours, as long as you finish your work) * My manager in Engineering is supportive in terms of my personal growth and career goals

Cons

* Work/life balance can get a bit lopsided * Multiple competing releases (it’s not always clear which is the highest priority, so this results in a lot of “flapping” between P1 priorities)

HR does a good job with recruiting and onboarding. The exec team seems invested in the company's success. The broader team is excited about the company's future. There is a good level of transparency and communication.

Nothing to report, this is focused on initial impressions and onboarding.
