Fortinet reviews

If you have half a brain, you can see that the engineering is at best mediocre, while word `meritocracy` is thrown around a lot, your own merit will get you nowhere and you'll hear a lot of excuses about how nothing can be done because it's just the way it has always been done.

Upper management is tone-deaf to the people on the ground. They don't respect your professional opinion and make things harder for you. They make decision that often require 2 to 3 times more rework. Mandates and objectives can flip overnight, causing more rework and burn people out. Fortinet is unable to keep the good employees because of bad management and lack of vision. People that have stayed are the ones that have settled for tranquility and unable to survive out there. Fortinet has become their shelter as immigrants. Company loves to do petty things like tool-trimming and cost-saving that saves no cost and hurts performance. In the end employees are paying with their work-life balance. People don't find fulfillment in the jobs themselves anymore. So either they quit, or they work the bare minimum and take a paycheque. RTO 4 days for most people now. 5 days for team leads and above. Needless to say, this is another tone-deaf decision for people living in the bay area. It's even worse for Vancouver location when people have already settled somewhere else. Whimsical company social events. In some major events each person gets a donut or a banana. Management goes back on many policies to give you less and less incentives to people that have sacrificed for the company.
