Great product, poor management

Pros

Fortinet is a serious challenger in the market and have great products at a good price point.

Cons

Management is poor. Lack of flexible working. Constant micro management along with invasive and inappropriate behaviour from the management's side completely ruins the working environment. There is also a lack of overhead vision and cooperation between different departments that makes the company loose out over time. Ticking boxes in each department seems more important than the bigger picture.
