I don't even know where to start to show how messy this company is.
- After 5 rounds (about 5 weeks) of interviewing, I was offered an entry-level position with Fortinet back in May, then they rescinded my offer 2 weeks later due to budget issues,
- 3 months later (August), they called me back and asked if I was still interested in the position. Of course I said yes, Fortinet was my dream company! I quitted my current job to accept an offer with them.
- When I first joined, I could already see a few red flags - the onboarding process was messy, co-workers did not respond to my messages until 2 days later, and many more that I can't say. I felt lost but still managed to hit the monthly target. I wanted to excel in this job so I stayed late everyday and dedicated all of my hard work.
- I was recognized by my co-workers during one of the team dinners and they even said I am one of their favorite team member they've worked in the last few years.
- One day after that team dinner, I was laid off after working for 1.5 months. No reason was given, which I suspected due to budget issues because I met all of my target.
If you decide to join this company, join at your own risk, because Fortinet has a history of brutal layoffs. They are in an very unstable financial situation right now with not enough sales to keep the company afloat. Even if you are a hard-working employee, they might still terminate you without cause. If your company can't afford to pay employees, please don't waste their time!
