I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Fortinet in Jan 2021
Interview
Hackerrank test with 5 questions was the first step. It covered things like html, javascript, css, networking, and c as well as an algorithm question you could choose any language for.
After this was a 1:1 interview/resume review with a member of the Engineering team (which I feel should have been done before asking candidates to spend 3 hours proving their qualifications already through the hackerrank test). There was some miscommunication about what this interview would look like. The morning before the interview, a recruiter gave many candidates a presenation about the company and talked about what the interview would be like. I think having this right before the interview was a bit odd. As well, we were told there would be many interviewers but when I arrived to the skype video call it was only one person.
The engineering member asked mostly about points on my resume, but then also followed with some random and strange questions like what computer and operating system I currently used which I felt was met with some judgment and they didn't really explain why that was important to them.

I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Fortinet in Feb 2021
Interview
I applied this company with my friend's referral.
The online assessment was very long for the given time and some of the questions were designed poorly. For example, there was a Javascript JSON parsing question and jQuery was not allowed and it was not mentioned anywhere so I wasted my time there. I passed the online assessment and got an interview.
Interview was very unprofessional. There was 5 people, 1 manager and 4 developers. I could easily say nobody prepared anything for the interview so everyone including the manager were just googling interview questions on spot and asking random knowledge questions when I was expecting something that I could demonstrate my coding abilities.
In short, It was a negative experience and I really do believe that they didn't even considered me from the beginning of the interview. It was a waste of time...
Good luck
