Pros

- Salary was great. not very likely to make the same amount of money elsewhere -

Cons

- No focus or vision beyond 3-4 month timeframe - Roadmap changes so often that there was no roadmap - Market new about new product before internal people - Chinese development focus. If we can sell it, we will make it. I have seen forti-product being developed, because they could. Not because if make sense businesswise

Pros

Solid, stable, predictable. Most people are out of the office by 4 or 5 pm. Life is easy and expectations are low.

Cons

Little support for marketing. Fortinet has too many products and too many product lines - and every product owner is fighting for attention of sales. The company is firmly wedded to it's hardware roots. Fortinet has not invested in internal systems. Reporting is awkard and cumbersome, and adaption on enterprise AI is still a long ways off. There are no women in senior roles.
