Pros

- Amazing people - smart, friendly, dedicated to helping Fortinet succeed - Lots of social clubs/interest groups where you can socialize and meet new people who share similar interests - Good comp plan that includes stock - Generous benefits plan that includes a healthcare spending account and lifestyle spending account - and RRSP matching - Good work/life balance but Fortinet does offer dinner if I need to stay late to work overtime - Being a big company, there are lots of opportunity to move around, grow and do different things - Proud to be working for a company that's providing innovative network and cyber security solutions to protect people

Cons

- Could be a bit more regular communication from senior management on product direction, sales etc. - although quarterly All-hands meetings do provide insight into those areas

Pros

- On target OTE and uncapped commissions - Great overall work culture - A lot of cool Field marketing events - Ability to expense dinners, entertainment, gifts for clients - Great company vision and a broad security fabric portfolio with several third party validations for a well-known cybersecurity brand makes it easy to sell and be successful.

Cons

- New business quotas are the same for every seller at least on my team, who all have very different territories, some with more white space heavy accounts that can be much more challenging to hit quota compared to other territories. Quotas went up by 20% from previous year. - Too many internal systems to navigate - processes and sales enablement tools could be more efficient - You can be the top performer in your US sales segment, and still not make it to President's Club because of the way it's structured - competing against different segments and only top 3-4% get to go each year. Rewarding top performers in general is an area needing improvement in my opinion.
