I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Fortinet (Burnaby, BC) in Feb 2018
Interview
refered by a empoyee, got the interview after a remote programming test; it took about nealy 3 hours from the very beginning to end, it's a complete technical interview, no words about anything else; 3 engineers interviewed me, mainly two of them asked questions from data structure, C, C++, Linux. They asked question from simple to hard and gradually detailed into the code implementation, you did not only answer the question, you need to explain the answer why you think its right; they wouldn't change another question unless you can explain the answer totally clear or you just stucked and cannot say anything more.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
quite a lot : data types in C, link list, class members, cannot remember all of them. how to find identify memory leaking and how to get out the bug in code when the program/device is already online and you cannot stop it to debug.
I applied online. I interviewed at Fortinet (Vancouver, BC) in Nov 2025
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.

Question 1
A bunch (about 4) of leetcode style questions, Med-Hard difficulty
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.
