Pros

1. Good products and pretty good product vision. Fortinet developed the idea of a security fabric, and the market is catching up with key concept. 2. Flexable work schedule - still no requirement to return to the office 3. Security is a great market to be in

Cons

1. No employee stock purchase plan 2. No corporate cell phones 3. No reimbursement for home office requirements (monitors, office chairs...) 4. Beautiful new HQ - is an open office plan - so no quiet places to work and no privacy 5. Quarterly goals - no long-term perspective, it's all about what wall street expects this quarter - even though the founders own most of the stock 6. Unreasonable goals. MBOs for every product are set from the top with no discussion of the market realities. We are supposed to grow by 44% - with no added marketing budget or headcount 7. No career advancement or mentoring - you are on your own
