I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Fortinet
Interview
Waste of time where you are supposed to do live coding (LC hard questions) in front of the camera. Their questions are even tougher than Google and Amazon. The panel was not at all interactive.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Solve these 3 questions in 2 hours
Leetcode 151 - Solve in O(1) time complexity strictly in C when even strrev() usage is NOT allowed on the Hackerrank platform
Leetcode 25, and Base 64 encoding questions
These 3 questions were followed by typical OS questions like IPC mechanisms, Concurrent I/O techniques (Select/Poll), TLS Handshake, How to implement polymorphism in C
I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Fortinet in Feb 2022
Interview
The overall process was straight forward, spoke with a recruiter who was really good and informative. Then spoke with a Senior Tech Acct Manager who was out of houston, great guy you will know when you speak to him. Last step was a technical interview which can range from 2 to 3 hours. My only concern was the rating system on the interview process because apparently I answered all of the questions correctly with the exception of missing a couple of questions and got feedback that was not accurate to how the interview went. I was told I was missing basic network knowledge which made no sense since
I just renewed my CCNP. I guess its the luck of the draw on who interviews you. Also feel that if you interview someone, please use a webcam out of courtesey, its not fair to the interviewee.
I applied in-person. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Fortinet (London, England) in Nov 2020
Interview
Long and drawn out process. Panel experience was stale and not beneficial. Could do with a more relevant final interview process that promotes individuality and a platform to showcase experience and expertise.
