Pros

The base compensation is ok. Nice view of the sea from the office.

Cons

First line managers and directors are all clueless and incompetent, both on technical and on interpersonal level. I swear to god I never seen so much trash occupiying leadership roles. Some of the directors can't even write proper English without sounding mentaly handicapted. Never in my career i have experienced such a terrible experience. Do yourself a favor and look elsewere.

Pros

Solid, stable, predictable. Most people are out of the office by 4 or 5 pm. Life is easy and expectations are low.

Cons

Little support for marketing. Fortinet has too many products and too many product lines - and every product owner is fighting for attention of sales. The company is firmly wedded to it's hardware roots. Fortinet has not invested in internal systems. Reporting is awkard and cumbersome, and adaption on enterprise AI is still a long ways off. There are no women in senior roles.
