Pros

-Good team with likeminded folk -Room to grow

Cons

-Fortinet is the kind of company that will bring you from salary to hourly just to save a nickel. - ZERO company culture. Holiday party is the only event of the year that appreciates its employees and it is CANCELED -Commonly has jobs online, that are roles that have been frozen. -If you are employed with Fortinet- it's because they low balled you. If you are a female, you will be underpaid contrary to your male counterparts. -They would rather hire someone with ZERO experience then pay someone what they are actually worth. -Your job is not secure unless you are working as 2-3 people. Many people have been fired.

Pros

I really enjoy working with my peers. Empowered to own my role, which can be overwhelming, but offers opportunities to get your hands dirty. Compensation and benefits are average.

Cons

Here’s what’s non-existent which is a disappointment and should raise alarms for anyone thinking about joining Fortinet: 1) Diversity and Inclusion - No programs, no resources, no communication, nothing. Fortinet doesn’t take this seriously or find D&I imperative. 2) Professional Development - You’ll be so consumed by your job, stress, and long hours that you won’t have time to invest in yourself. 3) Resources - Be prepared for your responsibilities to rapidly grow beyond what you signed up for. No wonder people burn out, leading to low morale and exits. 4) Work-life balance - Workload is always increasing, aggressive deadlines, everything is a priority, early morning calls to late evening or night calls with teams in other time zones, etc. 5) Employee Retention - I am becoming numb to updates that someone has given their notice. I’ve seen 1 to 2 people leave every month this year. It takes a long time to backfill the roles, so the work is dumped on other people, causing further burnt out and subsequently, more resignations. 6) Acquiring talented candidates - Every offer has to get reviewed and approved by the CEO. No wonder job openings remain open for months at time or even more than a year. If the CEO thinks the offer is too high, he rejects it and the hiring manager has to start all over. For a multi-billion dollar company that is experiencing hyper-growth, the CEO should be prioritizing his focus elsewhere including the issues mentioned here. 7) Company and department surveys: Why isn’t the C-level and departments’ leadership wanting to obtain feedback and get a pulse check on their employees?
