R&D managers and directors are all hands-on people and technically skilled.
They don't waste their time in endless meetings.
As an engineer who enjoys technologies, this is a great place to work.
Not much team and fun activities.
Be careful with your hiring process. Friend hiring friend is not a problem if the friend (new hire) knows what he's doing, is motivated, and willing to learn. Hiring a friend simply because he's a friend introduces unfair treatment in the team.
Fortinet supports a very fast interview process. I even started an interview with it after I got a job approval notice from another company, but their processes ended at the same time.
Had an OA. It was pretty easy. They started with an AI/ML position but transitioned it to Tableau after my OA, as they filled up the position. They asked me questions related to SQL, which I was not prepared for at all.
The process is fast. From screening to providing an offer is within a month. Questions are focused on detailed network security. There are no LeetCode or system design questions. The interview was in Mandarin after they knew I could speak Mandarin.
