Pros

The hardware is consistently ranked higher than most/all competitors in the SMB arena.

Cons

1. Zero leadership from management. They will tell you they have a plan, but they won't share it. Some good ideas will be squashed by the CEO. 2. Terrible hires that make you question your own abilities, values, and existence on this planet. Management has consistently hired personal friends at director-level positions, giving them enormous salaries to boot. These hires are coming from larger companies and they are not natural leaders. 3. Employees that would rather watch the company lose extremely talented individuals, or even ask the CEO to fire them, just to see their own stock in the company rise. If you're exceedingly greedy, shallow, and self-conscious, you will be perfect for Fortinet. For example: if someone is more skilled than you, then feel free run to the CEO to complain about the person and maybe he'll fire them for you. If not, work your way down the list of C-level execs until someone will do it. People have been let go for no reason other than "management is making me do it". 4. A boy's club where Sales and Marketing gleefully spend the CEO's money on liquor and more. Moreover, budgets are not divided evenly. In consistently mind-boggling fashion, the cheapest departments are cut or laid off to save money. 5. Management has no respect for women, and never will. You will be marginalized, which is normal if you're Chinese, but this is America! 6. HR is full of manipulative liars and will look the other way even when employees are getting physically attacked by others. You read that correctly. You will receive passive aggressive e-mails on a weekly basis from bipolar employees that need to seek treatment. 7. So. Much. More. This is not a company for decent people. If you're a compulsive liar and backstabber, this is the company for you!

Pros

you can gain deep networking experience, Stocks.. I can't find find any other con, it was definitely a bad working experience.

Cons

Huge workload - awful micromanagement from Team leaders that were changing the rules depending how did they woke up in the morning. -Completely sick environment with managers and leaders trying to promote and relief from workload only the persons that they like. -Not sufficient training for the depth of the knowledge that was required. -Leaders were assigning tickets outside of engineer's skillset as a revenge because they didn't like them. -Management was offending Employees with racist Jokes and ironic comments. -Management was acting like a closed organization by promoting or giving increases on salaries or even more forcing Engineers to quit.
