Vantaggi
1. RSUs and salary: The salary is just barely on par (and even a bit lower) with competitors', but the RSUs is what really gets you. 2. Since Fortinet is such a large company with a generally good public impression, you will encounter some skilled engineers. If you are lucky and make the initiative, you may get to work/learn from them 3. Some people are nice
Svantaggi
I worked at Fortinet for over 4 years. I wish I had better things to say, but I do not. I generally agree with the points made by other reviewers about the language biases, archaic methods, and mismanagement. If you are reading this and wondering whether you should accept an offer from Fortinet ... my suggestion is: Don't (especially if you are entry level or junior). With the exception of very (and I stress *very*) few teams, Fortinet does not provide good mentorship nor teach you industry practices that will develop your engineering skills. On the contrary, it may even hinder your development as an engineer. Upper-management sees you as numbers that fill spots. They will reorg you with very little notice (less than a week) and provide no reason for it. If you want to move laterally, animosity among teams and general disapproval from the upper management will often result in a rejected request. Product management is a mess: there is little cohesion between product management and the engineering departments. Team management is unprofessional. I have seen the extremes of micromanagement to no management at all. Managers may neglect communication with their own team members: from a month all the way to six months (!?) without a word. From all the teams I have been in and interacted with, I would say 95% of them do not follow most engineering best practices: no designing, no testing, no software development lifecycle in place, little communication, and little investment in modern software development tools. Please take it with a grain of salt as all this above was either my own experience or of those that I witnessed while at this company.
