Pros

We became part of Fortinet after the company we worked for got acquired by them. It's now close to 2 years since the acquisition. - We have never felt under any undue stress or pressure just because we got acquired. - The roadmap was defined properly with assurance that there will not be any firing. - Very good work environment. - Good leave policy and leaves granted whenever requested for. - Pretty Decent appraisals. - Bonus payouts for engineering teams every quarter - Stocks provided with appraisals ( atleast until now) - Good insurance coverage which includes parents.

Cons

- Very poor administration team leading to mediocre quality food being supplied by contractors who bid the lowest amount. - HR team also needs to improve a lot in their interaction with employees ( Seems to be changing of late but a long way to go) - No firing policy means that even people who don't work that much are comfortable with what they do causing unwanted workload on few people within each team.
