Vantaggi
*Excellent* benefits. With the right manager (I had one): decent feedback, comprehensive review cycles (although less frequent than I could wish), a large degree of autonomy.
Svantaggi
Increasingly non-technical middle- and upper-management. Company is a walking corpse unless it can figure out relevancy in the cloud world. IT organization has excellent end-user services but is otherwise out of the stone age and the entire upper management including the CIO (Tony) needs to be replaced with people who have a modern vision and who actually understand networking, serverless, cloud, and other modern concepts. The new CISO, Mary, is an empty suit. IT has a slavish attachment to Microsoft/Azure, building servers, on-premises or slightly hybrid vs pure cloud, and mostly just wants to preserve legacy skillsets or offshore to cheap Indian employees as fast as possible. Marketing is seemingly oblivious to irrelevancy of current offerings in the cloud world; PD is aware but 3-4 years behind the curve. Sales is not well-positioned to tackle the new world as it emerges (and might get entirely left behind). F5 is becoming an Office / Office Space / Dilbert company.
