Not many opportunities for advancement, or even lateral moves... - Mitarbeiter (anonym) bei F5: Mitarbeiterbewertung

Not much opportunity to grow or move up. Applying for another job in the company can get you branded as "disloyal" to your "team" and damage your career. (It happened to me, which is why I'm back at Microsoft now.) Weak manager ranks. You won't be working with the best and the brightest. Retired CEO had to return when his replacement was fired by the board of directors. F5 is not investing in infrastructure, software, facilities. A significant percentage of employees don't have university degrees.; you'll be working with trade school types. F5 technology is still on premises when everyone is moving to the cloud. Confused product portfolio and roadmap.
