Hyper Growth company. If you're looking for growth, Fortinet is a good place to be

Prefer not to say (Current Employee) - Burnaby, BC - 17 February 2022

I've really enjoyed my journey at Fortinet, I've resonated with its purpose of protecting people's data and keeping organizations safe from bad players. Management has a clear vision and is unrelenting in achieving its goals. It is nice being able to plan for the long term with out being worried about the company's performance.

Pros

Competitive salaries and equity. Really great benefits, lots of opportunity for career growth.

Good place to work

Release QA Specialist (Current Employee) - Burnaby, BC - 24 January 2022

Great place to work. But growing within the company takes time. Love the stock benefits. Coworkers can be a bit unfriendly sometimes but I guess that goes for most workplace these days

Toxic

TAC (Current Employee) - Ottawa, ON - 2 November 2021

As a tac it's a toxic environment, call last 1 to 1.5 hour, management pushes the call, it gets to the nerves, take the experience and leave the company as soon as possible.

Pros

none i can think of

toxic

Technical Video Producer (Former Employee) - Burnaby, BC - 11 August 2021

Good place to work for 5-6 hours top each day and make fairly decent money. Plus stock bonuses, though it's the only bonus you'll get and don't even dream about salary raise.

Pros

Clubs, slow-paced environment

Cons

poor management, no room for personal or professional growth

X Engineer (Current Employee) - Burnaby, BC - 9 December 2020

Pros:- Good place to work- good work life balance- They give a good stock grant - Stable industry- Expanding a lot- Good benefits- Easy to relocate to the USCons- Poor People management.- English is hardly spoken inside- Cheeky recruiters (& HR) will do their best to hire you at a lower salary- No diversity here at all, 80% Chinese, 20% "gangs" based on nationality- They don't separate technical leadership from people management, and the result is a boring work culture

Courseware Developer 2 (Current Employee) - Ottawa, ON - 8 November 2019

I worked in TAC for 5 years, for a beginner it's a very good fit. However, management needs to understand many problems from engineer's point of view. It's a high pressure job/

Management doesn't care unfortunately

L3 support (Current Employee) - Ottawa, ON - 3 April 2018

I have been working for over eight years. People and technology are excellent. However, at the CEO & CTO has no vision, to control, cause management to be yes men. Until CEO & CTO is replaced this company will ever be a true class. IT company. Sad.

Pros

Good people, technologies interesting

Cons

CEO & CTO to controller, causing management to yes man's

Scrub leads, make calls, motivate self due to lack of leadership and maintain ever growing targets

Business Development Rep (Current Employee) - Ottawa, ON - 16 October 2017

Typical days would involve scrubbing leads and making calls and sending emails. Booking a sale whenever possible. I learned to self motivate as there is a lack of leadership in my position (BDR) Hardest part of the job would be keeping pace with the ever growing targets and lack of listening from management. Best part of the job is working at your own pace (as long as you maintain targets, there aren't any questions)

Pros

Bagel Friday's, work at your own pace

Cons

lack of management/leadership

Best of breed product line

Regional Account Manager - Central Ontario (Current Employee) - Toronto, ON - 30 March 2017

Although a lack of marketing hinders brand awareness, excellent products more than make up for this. Company benefits are quite good, and very competitive with the rest of the industry
