Fortinet reviews

Very bad hiring process, super inefficient HR. Resentful people in the HR and higher management. Always working against hiring managers because these people are treated poorly by their own management. Engineer quality is very poor, you will know this during interviews and as customers. There is only one product that sells, which is the xxxGate and if you are not in that team, your product doesn't matter. People in the company report each other for resentful reasons, nobody cares about the bigger picture. Abusing the internal investigation process for getting rid of rivals and disagreement. You will not have a healthy career in this company, also if you stayed too long, you end up getting affected by always fighting the crapy engineering practice and the unpleasant no-culture carelessness. You will meet some genuinely unhappy people that can't get a job elsewhere in the bay area. This echos back the point why the engineering quality and HR efficiency is so low. You won't meet people you can learn from in this company. They were either already left or got caught in one of those resentful internal event that got them kicked out for wanting things to get better.

Upper management is honestly horrible. They come down with half-baked directives constantly, They'll get some new big idea we need to be jazzed about, then move onto a new company, and wonder why we aren't hitting our numbers when our strategy is so short-sighted. Also, goals are extremely unnattainable in general, so I wouldn't plan on hitting 100% if you work in sales. It's probable you'll hit 30-50% of your goals the first 2-3 years so don't plan on making your entire salary. They have a very 'turn and burn,' expendable attitude toward their sales teams, don't like to promote internally. Many things get said that don't end up actually getting implemented, and the people that are actually hard workers are left holding the bag and receiving, in my opinion, an unfair level of compensation.
