Pros

Fortinet has a big beautiful new headquarters they love to show off that opened earlier this year. As an employee though, don't plan to park there because there isn't any parking. This company is profitable but it's only a matter of time before that stops.

Cons

Fortinet is run by the brothers Xie and if them wants to do something (regardless if it is right or wrong for the company) that's what they do--differing opinions are not offered by the spineless exec team. Products and programs are always pushed out the door before they are ready, look at v5.0 of the software as it was released to coincide with a conference. There is no marketing support yet sales is told to go out and sell-sell-sell. Salaries are low and your raise will be 3% even though the company is growing at more than 30%. Stock options are pretty much worthless as well. yes, the stock is up $10 a share over the last year, but while the entire market is growing to new heights over the past four years, FTNT has been pretty-much flat. The executive team is spineless to Ken and Michael Xie. It seems none of them will offer a differing opinion and just do whatever is commanded of them to get the attention onto another VP. Fortinet's goal is to be a billion dollar company and if one of the VPs can convince Ken their idea will 'grow the business' then look out because the direction will completely change. There is no support from HR or operations for employees. Do yourself a favor and move on to the next company.
