Fortinet is great. Benefits could be better, ex: health insurance, better pension, prenatal leave payment according to standards in the industry (local/regional ), employee stock purchase monthly (ESPP) (like other vendors).
The company is growing and experiencing very good year on year results. Yet G&A teams are not entirely well compensated.
ESPP program, better heath support
