Entrevista
I had a negative experience with two different interview processes at Fortinet. First applied for a role through referral, didn't get any responses back. Applied through LinkedIn for the same role 4 weeks later, HR reached out in a day and sent OA Hackerrank link. The OA was 90 minutes 5 questions easy/medium Leetcode. After one week I was informed that the test results were good but they are having a hiring freeze on the team and no one is getting hired for the role! Therefore they helped me connect with other recruiters regarding roles of interest which is nice. The second recruiter reached out about another role and said I needed to do a different OA this time 150 minutes and 7 questions. I believe I answered all of the questions correctly. I reached out to the recruiter to expedite the process since I had another verbal offer but I definitely preferred Fortinet. The recruiter called and said the manager was happy with the results. But I received two more calls after that asking weird questions about the details of my other offer which I answered honestly to the extent I was allowed. After this, they said would try to schedule the interviews as soon as possible to speed up the process. Received a call the next day that they are moving forward with another candidate who has more YoE! This is absolutely a waste of time for the candidate; I spent 4 hours in OA, passed them, and didn't even make it to the technical interview because of non-technical reasons!

Horrible experience, especially with recruiting but also the attitude of the hiring team. Recruiters love to cold call with no heads up (only out of hundreds of companies who use standard emails) and are very disorganized, forgetting details about me and saying nothing about the team or company.
Process:
- 2.5 hour OA with complete silence for 1.5 months after
- 2 hour in person onsite interview. The interviewers had a cold attitude and look throughout. Didn't bother to introduce themselves or the team. Didn't even say goodbye or thank me for my time after the interview despite me taking PTO.
- 3 weeks later, recruiter called to setup a call with another manager. This manager asked random questions and didn't explain his role or give me any time to ask questions. Overall easy conversation.
Complete ghosting from the company after the final call despite me following up twice. I only found out through internal sources that the position was filled.
Be aware of this company. Heavily favour onsite work and a certain demographic. Be prepared to job hop after a year even if you get a offer.
