Pros

-> Diverse and feature-rich product offerings, huge scope to learn different Cyber-security and WLAN products - > Competitive work environment - > Amazing Health and Stock options for Employees - > FTS model

Cons

- > No Cab facility, No free food and No work-from-home option and most importantly no shift allowances for TAC folks - > Fortinet India management is very frugal in terms of passing on benefits to its employees - > Recruitment (HR) process is bit unfriendly and not accountable - never discussed about Shift Allowances and Cab facility during hiring process and keeps telling stories/bluffs a lot which is misleading for a new hire - > Folks in TAC are made to work straight 14 days per month in a stretch without Paid Offs, HR policies are NOT Employee friendly , very rigid and not in par with the current industry standards - > Higher management discriminates Engineering and TAC teams, gives preferential treatment to Engineering team and sub-standard treatment to TAC folks, instead they should treat everyone with due importance

Fortinet Response

Thank you for the review. With due respect to your opinion, I would strongly urge you to read and understand various employee policies. We do have a strong allowance policy for TAC employees. Also the food options are heavily subsidized . Our various HR policies are best in class comparing to the industry (leave/medical etc). We encourage open door policy and anyone from Sr Management is available for a discussion. Happy to clarify any questions you may have to alleviate all mis-conceptions which are not true!

Plenty of training and technical support for sales.

Unlimited vacation does not apply in the sales organization. It was misleading in the interview process. The culture of the office is terrible. Just sales grind. Heavy metric driven.
