Pros

Great place to be if you are a total gear head. Fortinet makes an incredible product and despite lack of traditional "enterprise" market recognition has continued to grow install base world wide and revenue aggressively for the past few years.

Cons

An engineering company run by engineers some time investing in areas that make no sense while ignoring areas that scream opportunity. Fortinet's marketing makes Barracuda's look compelling. Marketing here is simply a joke and does not accurately describe the company position or ability. Communication and infrastructure is a nightmare. You are pretty much on your own here day to day unless you are in HQ.

Pros

Doing my job was up to me and I pretty much did my own thing. I had 3 managers in the year and half I was there.

Cons

Promises of great wealth with IPO soon to happen, that was in 2005, and just now in 2009 they filed for IPO. They tried and take anything they have to pay for and reverse engineer it and build it themselves. No understanding of how to the day to day operations are to run at a company. When asked Ken one time about a calendaring system he said an employee could walk over to his cube and look on his white board, and others should do the same. yeah that works well.
