From Small Vancouver Company to one of the Bigger Company

Anonymous employee

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

I have seen how the company grow, I have seen the ups and downs and from time to time it got corrected. Survival of the fittest is what the company is all about. You have to continue learning almost everyday in the company is a must. Do whatever you can do to make the company better as well as yourself as a part of the company. Team play is the key to stay, contribute what you can in the end your efforts and achievement will be seen and rewarded.

Cons

Even you are right, the boss is still right because they have broader outlook than what you see.

Business Outlook

Pros

Overall Fortinet products and company is good, innovative and you have opportunity to learn a lot of interesting things. Salary comes on time, 30 days of vacation, stock options.

Cons

Job is stressful and you are demanded to go beyond the limits. Management is completely wrong. You cannot complain for anything as you become immediately inconvenient for them. They prefer their own friends and groups. You'll always hear only false promises and different stories. Nobody cares about you, about work/life balance, job offers no flexibility at all. You are just being constantly pushed to deliver the numbers. The most of the experienced people are gone by now. During the last 2 years more than half of L1 team left, the same is happening on L2 this year.
