Fortinet

• Competitive pay, especially for a Vancouver-based company.
• Decent benefits; health insurance covers 50–80% of costs.
• RRSP match could be better, but still appreciated.
• My team manager is supportive and great to work with.

• Strong push for return-to-office; remote work is effectively dead.
• Poor communication between frontend and backend teams; QA often has to catch everything.
• Development process is chaotic; releases frequently delayed by weeks.
• Low-priority bugs are ignored indefinitely.
• Team productivity is judged using weak metrics (e.g., number of tests or bugs reported).
• No time is set aside to tackle technical debt.

Shift the focus from just delivering new features to improving product quality and development processes. Otherwise, long-term stability and morale will suffer.
