Pros

Very friendly co-workers, annual company-paid group outing. Job is easy, no pressure, seldom working overtime. Work hours are somewhat flexible, can come in as late as 10am. Every employee (developers at least) gets two new computers. Free dinner is provided if you stay until 7pm.

Kontras

Poor management compared to the company I worked at before. They don't seem to know how to manage big software projects well. The office is poorly located in the heart of the crows' world. If you go to work on foot, you will need to navigate through bird droppings, while breathing them in the air. Do a search for 'crows burnaby' and you'll know what I mean. There seems to be a shortage of men's washroom in the building since 80% of the employees are males. Never expect to enjoy the washroom alone if you are a male. The company's culture is Chinese dominant, if you do not speak Mandarin, you might find it a bit hard to fit in. The company is a little cheap in some ways - The computers don't come with pre-installed Microsoft Office or Outlook. The employees have to assemble the desktops by themselves on their first day (I feel this should be the job of the IT department, but seems like this office doesn't even have one) I wouldn't say the pay is low, but it can definitely be higher for a medium-sized company.

Pros

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

Kontras

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.
