During my first meeting, I was asked inappropriate personal questions (such as my age and whether I have children), which are not relevant to evaluating professional competencies. At the second meeting, the interviewer arrived 20 minutes late without offering any excuse or acknowledgment, which I found quite disrespectful of my time. Moreover, the communication between interviewers did not seem aligned. The final feedback I received was that I might be “better suited” for an ISRAM position, because I do not have prior experience in the Belgian territory (which was very clear from my CV). Additionally, this is not stated anywhere as a requirement in the role description for the RAM position. Each interview required me to prepare beforehand and to attend physically, incurring travel costs (around €60 per round trip- uber), only to be informed at the end that I was never truly considered for the role in question. This entire process gave me the impression of a lack of professionalism and coordination, which does not reflect positively on Fortinet’s image. I share this feedback not out of resentment, but in the hope that it helps improve the candidate experience going forward.

I had a very positive experience with the Fortinet hiring process. Each step of the process was clearly explained, which made everything transparent and easy to follow. Ana Mantilla went out of her way to ensure the process was smooth and well coordinated. Overall, it was a very professional and well-organized experience.
