      Pros

      Work is always interesting, the cyber security world is a rapidly changing market which means Fortinet and its employees have to be quick on their feet and ready to adapt. Good benefits and vacation packages. Hours are good.

      Cons

      Stale working environment, not a lot of excitement in the office. Everyone is very fearful of management. Pay seems a little low for the cost of living in the silicon valley area.

      Industry leading technology - great potential

      Pros

      Compensation and benefits are very good. Respect for work/life balance is driven from the top down. The organization is flat, moves quickly and lacks bureaucracy which makes it very easy to move initiatives forward and get results. The leadership has an open door policy which is truly open. Ken and Michael Xie are some of the best technologists in their field but truly humble and grounded. Industry-leading technology and and focus on innovation across the company, consistent growth and the company has an excellent long-term opportunity.

      Cons

      The company gets a bad rap for marketing which sometimes is more than it deserves. Yes, it has it challenges and it is primarily a technology driven company but marketing change is a constant in the SV - Check Point, Proofpoint and others recently had CMOs stay less than a year.

      Doesn't feel like a corpo - you can still have a personal life (and money)

      Pros

      - extended vacation (more than anywhere I worked before) - company stocks and interesting stock purchase plan - location - not directly in the city center (15-20 min with bus/underground) so you won't loose time in traffic (plus it's 5 min to nearest metro station and 1min to nearest bus) - if you're good you get promoted... which is not that obvious at some other places - no night shifts etc - people you work with - salary is way above average - flexibility! need to go to a doctor with your kid or pick up a package from UPS? no worries (sorry for sounding like a vacuum cleaner commercial...) - unique learning experience - better be ready for being thrown in at the deep end at some point (fortunately you're covered just need to open your mouth and ask around if you feel lost)

      Cons

      I find it quite hard to find something that really disturbs me... coffee could be better maybe? Another thing that I personally may complain a bit about is that it's not a remote job (it's technically possible, the infrastructure is already there but you just have to show up at the office). No entertainment area (it's definitely not a googleplex) No shower (running during lunch break may be unpleasant... for your co-workers)
