Pros

The company is big and stable. It is constantly hiring. The job security is a definite plus. People are nice. Good fit for family people who are not looking for a lot of workplace excitement. Work environment is not stressful. Benefits are standard. Pay is good if you factor the stock options.

Cons

The work is very cut and dry. It is basically more of video product documentation than creative. A lot of video capping, voice overs, explaining and demoing how software features work. There is no camera work involved. The company is not a lot of fun either. There is no X-mas party. Not flexible with working from home. Even though a lot of work can be done from home. Vacation is 3 weeks including sick days. Changes to 4 weeks after 1st year. No budget to take courses or improve skills besides the product training

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.

Pros

Solid, stable, predictable. Most people are out of the office by 4 or 5 pm. Life is easy and expectations are low.

Cons

Little support for marketing. Fortinet has too many products and too many product lines - and every product owner is fighting for attention of sales. The company is firmly wedded to it's hardware roots. Fortinet has not invested in internal systems. Reporting is awkard and cumbersome, and adaption on enterprise AI is still a long ways off. There are no women in senior roles.
