I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Fortinet (Burnaby, BC) in Apr 2015
Interview
I was asked to do a 2 hour online assessment and didn't get farther than that. Some of my friends also did the online assessment for other positions before too but didn't get far (even when they cheated). So Fortinet seem to ask a lot of people to do their online technical evaluation but doesn't seem to be really hiring. My advice is to avoid doing their online assessment unless you want to spend 2 hour practicing your programming skills ( even then there are better places online to do it, that give you feedback). If you have the skills to get pass it, you probably have what it takes to get into a better company then Fortinet. I only did their assessment for fun cause there were a few questions that seem interesting

sample_list = []
for i in range(1, limit):
if i * (i - 2) % 3 == 0:
sample_list.append(i**2)
return sample_list
l = generate_sample_list()
1A) Write code to create an exact copy of list "l":

3 interviewers interviewed me. They were kind and rigorous. I was asked some questions about C++, networks and Operating systems. No coding exercise during the interview. They focus on the description and the projects listed on your resume.

Horrible experience. After the passed technical assessment, the hire manager rejected me because I applied for another position in Fortinet a few months ago. I don't understand this excuse, and I don't accept being rejected by this excuse.
