Fortinet Reviews

Pros

First tier Security company. One of the biggest tech company in metro Vancouver area. Growing at amazing rate in recent years. New grads are hired from decent universities.

Cons

Parking is not free. Dental coverage can be better.

Pros

The culture is different depending on the department you get. You have hope if you get out of TAC... otherwise, there is not hope for you. You will be miserable forever.

Cons

The TAC has become just a call center over time. It's all about the number of calls answered and how fast you can dismiss customers without letting them feel you just needed to get to the next call to make the numbers (and do it again with the next one, and the next one, and the next one... until your day is over and you made your queue stats look good).

You may experience difficulty getting promoted if you don't speak...

Advice to Management

If a position in a team is open to the best applicant, and language is not relevant to that position's skill, than the respective teams should be speaking English in their meetings. A a lot of teams CAN speak English in their meetings, but don't because Chinese is more comfortable to them.
