J'ai postulé via un établissement d'enseignement supérieur ou universitaire. Le processus a pris 2 semaines. J'ai passé un entretien chez Fortinet (Vancouver, BC) en févr. 2017
Entretien
I applied at Fortinet through an on-campus career fair for a job as a new grad and went to an on campus screening interview a couple days later. The screening interview was extremely disorganized. I waited for an hour past my scheduled time and there was still a candidate in front of me before I left without getting my interview. Nonetheless, I was contacted a week later by a recruiter saying I was still a potential candidate for a position as a developer and I would need to complete a skill testing question in order to continue.
Why not? The position sounded interesting so I agreed and they sent me the "Skill testing question".
Only it wasn't just a small test question I have come to expect from my previous interview.
It was a fully spec'd out complex end-to-end application that involved everything from building a web client to a back end data store. They gave me 24 hours.
The worst part is that there was absolutely no indication that this was even a test problem. The spec showed an application that would be directly relevant to the work being done at Fortinet. I'm pretty sure that I would be spending my day working on a live project, for free, just for the chance to get an interview. Even the filename for the spec is suspicious "Devops_Engineer_Project.txt".
Overall this was a terrible interview experience and I would not recommend Fortinet to anybody based on my experience.

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.

Technical trivia + leetcode. They learned a lot about me but I barely knew what they did.
