      Pros

      flexible work hour free dinner if you work after 7pm

      Cons

      Lack of direction and no clear requirement. No on job training. This company does not provide any technical training. No formal development process. Still run like a start up company. Lack of diversity. More then 3/4 of the employees are Chinese and Mandarin is the most common language used in the office.

      A family company

      vice president of product management

      Pros

      Fortinet catches a good timing in introducing gateway based antivirus solution and introducing unified threat management system. It is good to work for Xie's brothers for one year and then you should consider to leave.

      Cons

      The management, especially, Ken Xie and Michael Xie would promise you lots of things when you are just hired, but finally nothing can be realized. This is a family company and lots of friends and family members of the Ken Xie, Michael Xie and Chairman David Tsang are key employees of this company.

      Former Employee

      Channel account manager

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Fortinet has solid products and strong brand recognition in the cybersecurity industry. The company is growing fast and has a good footprint in the market. There are some great people across departments, and it’s a place where you can learn a lot — especially if you’re early in your career.

      Cons

      Compensation for internal employees is extremely disappointing. Even after five years with the company and taking on significantly more responsibility, I was capped at a 20% raise for an internal promotion — which still didn’t bring me anywhere near market value. Making a base that’s under $105k as a Channel Account Manager in this industry and role is well below standard, especially considering the workload and expectations. Fortinet tends to reward external hires much more generously than those who grow internally. There’s little transparency or flexibility when it comes to adjusting pay for loyal employees. This results in high attrition and a sense that tenure and dedication are undervalued.
