Pros

Reasonable products Many smart & dedicated employees

Cons

Fortinet has more than 3000 employees & yet is run like a small family business. Ken Xie is a smart guy but is extraordinarily paranoid after a poor experience w/ Netscreen. He has access to all company email, & for example, prohibits a central directory. Good luck finding anyone. The churn in the past 18 months has been extremely high at the C level, with people leaving or being forced out for what appear to be whimsical reasons.
