I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Fortinet (Burnaby, BC) in Jul 2022
Interview
Referred by a formal employee. I applied on web developer but they gave me OA for embedded software engineer and it’s C only. After finishing OA, both recruiter and that employee disappeared. No any following up even though I emailed them to ask for it. I’ve practiced for a few hard coding challenges and review about C but it remains nothing, not even a response. Totally waste my time.
I applied online. I interviewed at Fortinet (Vancouver, BC) in Nov 2025
Interview
Coding assessment, then live coding assessment where they just watch you code, camera and mic on, and sits there silently. Once you are done, if you don't get the whole thing, they just say "it's a no" then drops the call.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
A bunch (about 4) of leetcode style questions, Med-Hard difficulty
The HR representative initially contacted me by phone and explained the interview process. I was then given four coding questions, which were similar to a HackerRank-based test but slightly modified. Unfortunately, I didn’t pass that stage, so I don’t have any additional information to share.
