Pros

Challenging environment, you'll never be bored there's always a lot to learn. Good technology, the capabilities of the FortiGate are amazing

Cons

Feature creep, inverse of the capabilities is there are a million ways you can do something and new features are added constantly, keeping up can be challenging Lack of documentation for features, though this has improved it's still not where it needs to be Fortinet is a "cheap" company. Salaries are usually a bit lower on average and expect your expense reports to be gone over with a fine tooth comb

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.
