Dislikes

1. Pay is not great, as the hikes are impacted. 2. Recently, inexperienced new mid-level managers got into this position due to the position vacuum as existing people left, some of whom are not very technical but do pretend, and to continue that position, they are involved in politics and favoritism to manipulate the facts and recognition. And due to this, many hardworking engineers are frustrated. This frustartion may reflect in the upcoming employee survey results. 3. On some occasions, tasks get switched so quickly due to a lack of clarity and priority, which gives the impression of immaturity in mid-level managers, but they give excuses for task switching because of upper management. Engineers suffer as a result of this, but not the mid-level managers who decide and waste engineerstime.

They give more package and lock you there. Very worst India management of F5. They always talk about work culture but that is very very bad in F5. No job security at all.

The cash cow for the company is their product BIGIP. And majority of technology it uses are outdated, so they have no option but to continue to work on that.

Lack of SMEs and leads in some projects creates lack of visibility for the engineers within the management. 6. Documentation can be improved
