Pros

You get to work on promising new technologies

Cons

Bad management practices have ruined everything now. Upto some point F5 was one of the best companies culture wise and they were proud of their human first culture. Now, human first is just a myth. The upper management does not care about anything other than work. Employees are overworked and underpaid and not getting growth opportunities.
