I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Fortinet (Dallas, TX) in Nov 2022
Interview
What a joke. I was given an initial screening by a recruiter who makes sure all the boxes are checked and then the hiring manager sends a personality assessment. Even though it is mentioned that the personality test is one aspect of the hiring process, if you don’t get a “favorable score” then the hiring manager won’t even talk to you. I have experience in this vertical, multiple years experience in sales, and higher education…yet my competence was measured by a generic personality test. Truly haven’t had one of those sent to me as a deciding factor in my competence level since I was a receptionist in college. It’s truly pathetic and quite frankly, shows me that I’ve dodged a bullet and that the company prefers sheep over strategic business-minded sales reps.
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Fortinet (Londres, Inglaterra) in Nov 2020
Interview
Smooth process and enjoyable experience. Frequent updates and clear expectations. The office is great and easy to get to. Recruiter helped to get me the package I wanted and the stock options requested.
The interview was fast paced and comprehensive. It was very thorough with interviews from across the chain of command for the department. They did both phone and video chat interview formats.
