      Pros

      There are pockets of strong leadership that make Fortinet a fun place to work. It's a growth industry with opportunities for upward mobility due to attrition and understaffing.

      Cons

      Ken Xie micromanages the business with bizarre decision-making that moves the company backward. He elevates incompetent management who are loyal to him to keep that decision-making structure in place. It's a very frustrating and uninspiring place to work.

      Pros

      The building is nice when you can find parking. Other than that there really isn't any thing good about this place.

      Cons

      This is the most politically motivated place ice ever worked. Don't even think of saying no to King Ken and don't ever hope for there to be any process.

      Pros

      Fortinet has a high-energy collaborative sales culture with sales leadership that really cares about their people and promotes from within. In my 20+ months here I’ve seen a half dozen sales reps, including myself, earn promotions, and it’s a work hard/play hard culture that offers a nice work/life balance. The technology is world-class and the company is investing in all the right places with a goal of becoming the #1 cyber security company worldwide.

      Cons

      Like most high-tech sales organizations, there have been some organizational changes, and even though they're the right changes positioning the company for continued long-term success, there is a short-term adjustment period for everyone involved.
