Pros

Since joining Fortinet at the end of June, I’ve been genuinely impressed by the company’s professionalism and strong engineering culture. Teams collaborate efficiently, communication is clear, and execution is highly disciplined. What I appreciate most is my manager’s truth-seeking attitude. Whenever an issue arises, he focuses on identifying the real root cause and finding the right long-term solution, rather than covering up problems or chasing superficial results. This level of integrity and technical rigor is very different from some of my past experiences, where management was more concerned with presenting good outcomes than addressing underlying risks or code quality. My manager and colleagues demonstrate deep expertise and strong leadership, and I’ve already gained valuable hands-on experience in systems, networking, and security. The environment truly encourages continuous learning and high-quality engineering work. I’m proud to be part of Fortinet and look forward to growing together with the team.

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.
