Pros

-Cybersecurity: Which in itself is the fastest growing sector in IT. -Aggressive Growth: Globally ~5000 strong, Canada wide ~1000+ and in Burnaby specifically ~700 employees with 2 big buildings that the company owns on Still Creek Drive. Already one of the world's leader in Security with over 310K clients under it's belt. -Location: Working for a big employer, right in Vancouver area is a big plus in my opinion. It is Fortinet's biggest R7D center globally and is critical to it's operations. Most of the top selling and key products are developed here. -Growth: Have seen people who joined at junior position climb up the ladder to team leads/senior members in a few years. As long as you perform well, the company would reward that. -Amazing infrastructure: World class facilities. -Convenient location: Close to Gilmore station. -Competitive compensation + stocks + benefits. -Job security.

Cons

Lacks diversity in workforce. But there has been a tremendous improvement on that front in the last couple of years and heading to a more dynamic work environment.

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.
