Pros
Compensation and benefits are great.
Cons
Used to be a great place to work until the new CEO took over. He is an absolute jerk. I understand that lay-offs happen and even offices closed, but the way Francois did it was extremely disrespectful, cowardly and hypocritical. We learned we were being all laid off via a company-wide email. An email, really? Then we were told, some of us being there over 10 years to just clear out within the next couple days, again very disrespectful. Word on the street is that he was going to close the Lowell office on 9/28 w/o giving us any notice but the state of Massachusetts set him straight with their laws. so any severance and notice is due to legal requirements, not from many consideration by F5. Despite all the talk of F5 values and "we are F5ers", the CEO and senior management are pretty deplorable human beings. Francois was too cowardly to inform any of us in person but instead sent his lackeys. Had he had any actual morals, he would not sleep at night.
