Pros

The pros to working at Fortinet are that they have a strong product that is appealing to partners and customers and is typically sold at a good price so you do have a chance to win lots of deals. They have a strong marketing presence and compete with other vendors pretty well.

Cons

The cons come from the way Fortinet works internally. They do not provide the ICAMs with many resources, such as a dedicated SE for answering partner's questions, leaving them to fend for themselves. They are also not willing to grow, develop, and empower their talent from within and that shows by the lack of promotions or even path to promotions within the company. This role was also created as a lateral move from the ISR team, which meant that we did not receive a pay raise when we switched positions.

Pros

Solid, stable, predictable. Most people are out of the office by 4 or 5 pm. Life is easy and expectations are low.

Cons

Little support for marketing. Fortinet has too many products and too many product lines - and every product owner is fighting for attention of sales. The company is firmly wedded to it's hardware roots. Fortinet has not invested in internal systems. Reporting is awkard and cumbersome, and adaption on enterprise AI is still a long ways off. There are no women in senior roles.
