Toxic Environment
Working at Fortinet was satisfying and quite motivating. The engineers are recognized as the true holders of the company's talent and intellectual property.

There is significant resistance to individual contribution, where an employee's prominence is viewed with envy and egocentrism by some colleagues who are stagnant in their roles.
