flexible work hour free dinner if you work after 7pm

Lack of direction and no clear requirement. No on job training. This company does not provide any technical training. No formal development process. Still run like a start up company.

Business Outlook

Pros

Fortinet catches a good timing in introducing gateway based antivirus solution and introducing unified threat management system. It is good to work for Xie's brothers for one year and then you should consider to leave.

Cons

The management, especially, Ken Xie and Michael Xie would promise you lots of things when you are just hired, but finally nothing can be realized. This is a family company and lots of friends and family members of the Ken Xie, Michael Xie and Chairman David Tsang are key employees of this company.
