Technical Behavioral
The recruiters and the interview panel kept me in the loop really well. They were quick to respond when I had questions and kept me updated, making the whole thing feel professional and friendly. I got a strong feeling that Fortinet cares about doing great technical work and also about having a supportive environment.
