Pros

The people that work at Fortinet are good people and for the most part the products work well.

Cons

the changes here can become unbearable. The territories constantly change and the way that you get paid will change every quarter it seems like. Sales reps feel disrespected and most seem to be unhappy. Fortinet seems to have the Jerry Jones mentality - you should feel privileged to work for Fortinet even if we pay you a fraction of your worth.

Pros

-Good team with likeminded folk -Room to grow

Cons

-Fortinet is the kind of company that will bring you from salary to hourly just to save a nickel. - ZERO company culture. Holiday party is the only event of the year that appreciates its employees and it is CANCELED -Commonly has jobs online, that are roles that have been frozen. -If you are employed with Fortinet- it's because they low balled you. If you are a female, you will be underpaid contrary to your male counterparts. -They would rather hire someone with ZERO experience then pay someone what they are actually worth. -Your job is not secure unless you are working as 2-3 people. Many people have been fired.
