Pros

20 days PTO after one year

Cons

as title, C-suite level dont know how to lead and inspire employees, only micromanage and retaliate if they receive feedback which is not what they want to hear, so most people (including directors/managers) will stay quiet to avoid being a target....terrible culture of dictatorship, only those who dont dare to speak up and go with the flow will be promoted, your competency dont worth a lot here. many things that are decided by c-suite dont make sense in terms of productivity and long-term goals, because they dont have plans for anything they do, only mending and more micromanagement. If your leader does not like you, you wont even get a yearly raise, and the performance reviews are only based on how your leader judges you, you dont get a say about your goals or anything at all, very subjective.

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.
