Not a place to be if you value yourself

Pros

A few people are personable such as my ex-manager. Okay WLB

Cons

Some people you work with are stupid and incompetent beyond comprehension really, some of which occupy high positions. If one is capable, has any ambitions or even just some self-respect, anywhere else would be better.

Pros

This is a 5-star organization with excellent potential and some outstanding leaders. The organization also offers excellent pay, great learning opportunities, and fantastic benefits, making it a great place to build a career. The company has some outstanding leaders who strive to create a balanced and supportive environment. The TAC Director (Robin), for example, does an excellent job managing the team and shielding them from unnecessary interference, ensuring the department remains focused on its goals.

Cons

The lack of diversity in the TAC department makes it challenging for engineers from different backgrounds to feel included. A significant number of engineers come from the same ethnicity, which creates an imbalance that’s tough to navigate. Canadian HR is a major weak point. It’s puzzling how Fortinet is recognized as a top workplace in the U.S., yet doesn’t achieve the same status in Canada, where it was founded. This clearly points to serious issues within the Canadian HR team. HR management seems overly influenced by a specific group of people, which stifles diversity and fosters internal politics, damaging the company’s culture. It feels like the power has been handed one sided unfortunately.
