Business Outlook

Pros

Fortinet is growing rapidly which allows for many opportunities to learn industry processes and best practices while advancing your career. Opinions are valued, innovation is encouraged, and advancement is expected.

Cons

There is a lack of culture that is true to tech companies with remote working and onsite amenities , but HR does a good job of compensating with company-wide employee appreciation and holiday events. Another con is the workload native to a small but growing company. The expectations rise and hiring can't quite keep up.

Pros

Well its been more than 4 years i am working here. And it feels good say that I enjoyed each day at the work which kept me challenging. The transition from college to corporate world was a smooth change, where I found that the learning curve is an never ending journey here at Fortinet One thing which stands out of all the journey so far is that the immense support and transparency showcased by the Senior Managemenmt was something i would say that will not be found every where.

Cons

No cons. But only thing as a suggestion could be, team events can be more
