I applied through other source. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at Fortinet (Cleveland, OH) in Nov 2022
Interview
Had 1st conversation with a manager that reached out to me for the role and spoke down to me. He spoke upon pay, company size, and software experience as though it all would be light years better than what I have in my role not knowing that my experience is highly comparable to what they have to offer. Likely just a manager that I would never want to work for. I'm sure the company has great benefits for how large they are, but at the time it was not a fit for me.
I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Fortinet
Interview
Verkennend gesprek met recruiter, diepte gesprek met hiring manager + AE om dieper in te gaan op je ervaring en ambities, gesprek met SE om te kijken of je technisch ook een fit zou zijn, panel presentatie om te presenteren hoe je het Fortinet portfolio zou inzetten en eindgesprek met MD.
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Fortinet (Plano, TX) in May 2025
Interview
Initial interview was more of a get to know you call, it wasn't interviewish at all. Very good converstaion with the Sales Director, next steps would be multiple calls with various team members and a presentation.
