Pros

- Pay and Stock - Technology and Technical Learning

Cons

- Management sucks - No proper corporate structure, experienced individuals sitting at the bottom of the career ladder and dump idiots sitting in senior roles :) - English is hardly spoken in Canada, diversity failure - Gangs culture (Chinese, Indian, Iranian, ...etc.) No inclusion if you are different. - HR sucks Asian mentality of fear-based management, with an ultimate focus on winning "Best employer on paper" awards.

Pros

Good salary Lots to learn. Team building events

Cons

Ottawa TAC management is crap. To cover their backs Ottawa TAC managers will do anything. No growth in TAC. You can only be a TAC in your entire life. It is not TAC it is a call center.

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.
