Pros

The people- only the people.

Cons

The entire company has a virus, and it is greed. I worked at Fortna for 3 years before, during, and after the pandemic- the things I saw, objectively, are not good. The company is moving all of their employees over seas because it is cheap labor, and they don't want to pay high priced USA salaries. The company doesn't care about your feelings, who you are as a person, or your personal needs at all. As long as you are a human that can push out 80-100 hours of work per week, you will get paid. Yes, I said it- the company, and it's "leaders", will manipulate you into working at least 80 hours per week. And if you don't, instead of firing you, you will become the outcast, verbally assaulted (which is illegal I might add- but they don't care, they are already getting sued multiple times over), and pushed to the fringes of the company, until you are just an angry person towards everyone- and you finally quit or lose yourself. Simple put- for your own mental health- please DO NOT work for this diseased company. Just don't do it Go somewhere else- making more money- and be happier. Your happiness cannot be bought- and even if it could- Fortna would not only try to buy it, but they would lie to you about how much it really costs, and only charge you very little to enter- not knowing how much you actually have to pay before you leave (I'm speaking metaphorically of course; however, this is another reason why the company is being sued- lying to clients about the true nature/quality of software, in an attempt to over sell the products). Again, just don't do it.

Pros

Hard to say but leadership and growth are not pros.

Cons

In 5 years there has been no guidance from anyone that cares about the stuff Fortna does. Most people don’t try to help anyone, and tons of people have left because they are made to feel disposable. If you mess up it’s your fault, and you manager will not own up to giving you bad direction. The place kinda sets people up to fail. Some people care but most of them don’t. Company is not working well. Both companies seemed to have lied and the one that did the best won, but the one that didn’t had a name that stayed.
