Pros

Pay can be good, the employees are generally nice, and the unstructured nature of the place allows you to take it easy sometimes. Some people are very knowledgeable, and if you're lucky you can achieve a lot. Some people strive to improve themselves and the work they touch.

Cons

Many people are stuck in their ways. Some decisions from above are a bit odd. A bit of a gong show. Communications are weak, and the drive for quality is lacking in some employees. Some process decisions are ridiculous.

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.
