I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Fortinet (Burnaby, BC) in Aug 2019
Interview
Multiple Online assessments. Followed by a phone interview. The whole interview experience highly depends on the manager who gave you the interview. Some manager did not prepare the questions well (They do not know what they are asking for and look for whatever chances they find to crash you. ) Others prepare the question very well and can be inspiring. Unluckily, I had an interview with the managers of both kinds. To average things out, not worth it to interview with them. No idea how they get into the top company.

Interview
Coding assessment, then live coding assessment where they just watch you code, camera and mic on, and sits there silently. Once you are done, if you don't get the whole thing, they just say "it's a no" then drops the call.

The HR representative initially contacted me by phone and explained the interview process. I was then given four coding questions, which were similar to a HackerRank-based test but slightly modified. Unfortunately, I didn’t pass that stage, so I don’t have any additional information to share.
