Pros

- Supportive Management Team - Top security products in the market right now and learning Fortinet Tech. helps Your career Progression. - Fixed Time shifts. - Get the job here only if You are a fresher (most the employees are )

Cons

- You will have no free time (literally). You will eagerly wait for Your lunch break in first half the day and then End of the shift in second half. And You will mentally exhausted by EOD. - Pay is low particularly if You are experienced. They wont consider Your experience when offering the job. They have predefined salary number for L1, L2, L3 roles which are low for a Network Engineer with experience. - Get the job here only if You are a fresher (most the employees are ) or want to getting in to security field and get experience. - Other than above mentioned reason I wouldnt recommend this stressful job(particularly an L2 role, You will start looking for a new job once You start as L2). - I worked as both L1 and L2 for a while and it is too much pressure particularly for L2 roles.

Pros

I really enjoy working with my peers. Empowered to own my role, which can be overwhelming, but offers opportunities to get your hands dirty. Compensation and benefits are average.

Cons

Here’s what’s non-existent which is a disappointment and should raise alarms for anyone thinking about joining Fortinet: 1) Diversity and Inclusion - No programs, no resources, no communication, nothing. Fortinet doesn’t take this seriously or find D&I imperative. 2) Professional Development - You’ll be so consumed by your job, stress, and long hours that you won’t have time to invest in yourself. 3) Resources - Be prepared for your responsibilities to rapidly grow beyond what you signed up for. No wonder people burn out, leading to low morale and exits. 4) Work-life balance - Workload is always increasing, aggressive deadlines, everything is a priority, early morning calls to late evening or night calls with teams in other time zones, etc. 5) Employee Retention - I am becoming numb to updates that someone has given their notice. I’ve seen 1 to 2 people leave every month this year. It takes a long time to backfill the roles, so the work is dumped on other people, causing further burnt out and subsequently, more resignations. 6) Acquiring talented candidates - Every offer has to get reviewed and approved by the CEO. No wonder job openings remain open for months at time or even more than a year. If the CEO thinks the offer is too high, he rejects it and the hiring manager has to start all over. For a multi-billion dollar company that is experiencing hyper-growth, the CEO should be prioritizing his focus elsewhere including the issues mentioned here. 7) Company and department surveys: Why isn’t the C-level and departments’ leadership wanting to obtain feedback and get a pulse check on their employees?
