Toxic Environment
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 a toxic culture among some employees, "rotten apples," manifested through corridor conversations that constitute harassment. This has led to the departure of good professionals.
There is an archaic and rigid "us vs. them" mentality, where competitors are sometimes seen as enemies.
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.
