Pros

I'm happy to be working alongside this great team at Fortinet. Besides delivering cybersecurity solutions to customers, I also enjoy collaborating with colleagues and growing professionally every day. I'm happy to contribute my experience and continue my professional development.

Cons

Perhaps I could have a broader understanding of architectures and case studies with colleagues in other locations, but overall, I don't see any issues or conflicting concepts yet.
