      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. The process took 7 months. I interviewed at Fortinet (Bengaluru) in Feb 2020

      Interview

      Horrible Interview Experience - Experienced NEPOTISM. This is the second time I was shortlisted for a role and I was called by the same recruiter who interviewed me 2 years ago and never felt the need of giving me a feedback till date. This time his assistant girl who was terribly wrong in her attitude over the call and email reached out and asked me if am interested in the position. They interviewed me (with poor questions: firstly being what's your current salary and next being when can u join) and called me all the way to travel to Bangalore, I was treated very unfairly. Some sort of nepotism exists where 80% employees are hired if you are from South belongining to Telgu community. They never got back to me for 6 months of constant follow up and not gave a feedback also. Same trend which I saw 2 years ago repeated. Highly disappointed. During a situation like Covid, such recruiters need to be sacked for not being there for job seekers who are desperately looking for job and playing with our emotions. I read a lot of reviews on internet about this company but my poor interview experience has changed my opinion. Am not a wrong candidate or a bad hire, it's people like these who can frustrate u in difficult times of job hunting. Suggestion to management: first take a technical test of this recruiter to understand if they know what we do in our jobs before wasting our time and telling us " will get back to you" and "this position is closed or on hold" because he knows nothing technically.

      Thank you for your candid feedback. We are sorry that you had a bad interview experience. Fortinet is a company which exemplifies respect to all our stake holders including candidates. I will look into this personally.

      Interview

      Overall interview process from start to getting an official response was 10 months.......yes 10 months. Really bad interview process overall consisting of about 5 interviews. 1st - with the hiring manager 2nd - with a few members of the team a bit technical but also a get to know 3rd - was the worst being a lab style interview on top of technical questions with TAC support involving reviewing a wireshark output. Also told on this interview ping was not an available option.....in what world do you restrict engineers to not be able to use such methods for troubleshooting 4th - another interview about SOAR although it was nothing of my background Also a minimum of 2 years working in the professional services role is required by the company before moving in to any other roles. Overall they decided to pass and glad they did because if this is their interview process I can only imagine what the company is like overall.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Review a wireshark output and confirm why a url is not accessible, troubleshoot a DHCP/DNS issue on a virtual fortigate, look at a diagram and recommend what you would change (for example adding HA servers, etc.), how would you respond to a scenario where you are leaving to another client and the client you are leaving needs you right away - let's be honest the politics of management deciding "which client is more important" is what will dictate this decision, no right answer on this

      Interview

      well, there were 2 interviews, technical and one with the hiring manager. the Technical interview took around 90 minutes, but I really enjoyed it. there were 3 skilled engineers, they were friendly. at the beginning of the interview, I was worried and scared :P. but they made it very easy for me. The type of questions was general, but also technical.

      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Fortinet (Indianapolis, IN) in Nov 2020

      Interview

      The interview process consisted of 3 separate interviews, each one about a week apart. 1st interview - spoke to the team manager, basically a project manager; most of the questions were about my background, why I wanted to work for Fortinet, what skills I had, etc. 2nd interview - this was with the team lead and another senior engineer, most technically-focused but mostly softball questions; again, talked about my background, but a little more in depth; really more of a "is he a good fit for the team" interview 3rd interview - got on a Webex with a TAC engineer who quizzed me on simple troubleshooting and basic networking topics; was presented a Windows 7 box that did not have working internet and asked to fix it; two issues with that: the connection was EXTREMELY laggy, and I was not told the entire scope of the scenario, apparently you were allowed to login to any other devices to investigate, which was a bit confusing since I was given no credentials to anything else
