Pros

You will be exposed to new technologies and there is room for you to learn new things. Company is big, so you will have opportunity to see enterprise level of everything.

Cons

Company has hot desk policy. You won't get a dedicated desk and every morning you will be surprised somebody else is sitting at your desk. Though this is not the case for managers and they have their dedicated space. Discrimination happening at desk space level. Work hours are 9 - 6 and some of the teams strictly monitor you. Lunch is one hour and unpaid. Stocks are released in very small amounts. If you see big numbers in your job offer as RSU/Options, just be aware that you will have them after 5 years. They give away a small portion of your stocks every quarter.

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.
