Pros

- Average work pressure. As developer, no crunch time. (But QA's do) - Very stable job security. Layoffs rarely happen. - Reasonable salary/benefit.

Cons

- Hiring managers usually have very very high expectation during interview. - Development process is nightmare. - Product management has problems. - A large percentage of employees are Chinese. While being Chinese is not really problem, it does take a hit in corporate culture. A lot of them don't have very good English skill. They're not confident to have a chat in English. And many others simply don't like to talk in English. So the Chinese tends to stay in their own groups. If you don't speak Chinese, you will find it rather challenging to get to know people.

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.
