Pros

If you hate working, you can do nothing for years and get paid for doing the bare minimum. Sometimes, when you quit they’ll give you a raise to continue to do nothing.

Cons

Roughly 80% of engineers there who have been there for over 10 years seemed to all have forgotten how to code. Nonetheless, will still be angry at you when you try to explain simple things like version control to them and they don’t understand. When you give them the solution, they will purposefully leave an “underperforming” review because they feel threatened by your competence. They will then ignore you for promotion for the next 8 years. Then, when they lose their tempers because they have the emotional intelligence of a 5 year old baby, they will blame you for not being “tolerant” enough of their temper tantrums.

Not the greatest culture

Pros

many of the individual contributors are good people, hard-working people.

Cons

A company's culture is defined by the worse tolerated behavior. At Fortinet, there are a lot of bullies and people that kiss up and kick down. Fortinet does not allow people to apply for jobs internally to move to a different department, so if you have a boss that is a bully, you are out of luck.
