It costs money to work here

Professional services engineer ii

Business Outlook

Pros

Managers are helpful and friendly.

Cons

If you are a professional service engineer it costs you money to work with fortinet. When you travel to service their clients, fortinet makes the employee pay up front the money for all travel costs, which is on the low end 1000.00 for a 5 day trip. They eventually remburse you, week later. But when you are traveling every 2 weeks( one week on, one week off) it gets very costly. I guess they assume their employees dont have families or other bills to pay. If you turn down travel due to money its an issue. Salary doesnt put a dent in the costs they expect you to come out of pocket for travel. I just get home and am working all week remotely, then have to leave to travel again.
