I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Fortinet
Interview
Two rounds of interview. Each starts with a one-hour written test before start. Then one to one or one to two interview. The hiring manage is very nice to talk to, and he is always able to find out whetther the candidate is a good fit for position.
I applied online. I interviewed at Fortinet (Vancouver, BC) in Nov 2025
Interview
Coding assessment, then live coding assessment where they just watch you code, camera and mic on, and sits there silently. Once you are done, if you don't get the whole thing, they just say "it's a no" then drops the call.

Question 1
A bunch (about 4) of leetcode style questions, Med-Hard difficulty
The HR representative initially contacted me by phone and explained the interview process. I was then given four coding questions, which were similar to a HackerRank-based test but slightly modified. Unfortunately, I didn’t pass that stage, so I don’t have any additional information to share.
