We're committed to building a rich learning environment for all our employees, and ensure they have the chance to advance. But we also focus on a healthy life-work balance, offering flexible work schedules and unlimited vacation time. It all adds up to a workforce that's excited to team up for the long haul and drive results."

The 2015 Best Places to Work award competition determines company rankings via online surveys that are sent directly to employees by Quantum Workplace. Winning companies prioritize culture and values that drive employee engagement.

In line with the company's revenue and market share growth, Fortinet has also significantly expanded its workforce over the past year.
