Pros

-Cybersecurity: Which in itself is the fastest growing sector in IT. -Aggressive Growth: Globally ~5000 strong, Canada wide ~1000+ and in Burnaby specifically ~700 employees with 2 big buildings that the company owns on Still Creek Drive. Already one of the world's leader in Security with over 310K clients under it's belt. -Location: Working for a big employer, right in Vancouver area is a big plus in my opinion. It is Fortinet's biggest R7D center globally and is critical to it's operations. Most of the top selling and key products are developed here. -Growth: Have seen people who joined at junior position climb up the ladder to team leads/senior members in a few years. As long as you perform well, the company would reward that. -Amazing infrastructure: World class facilities. -Convenient location: Close to Gilmore station. -Competitive compensation + stocks + benefits. -Job security.

Cons

Lacks diversity in workforce. But there has been a tremendous improvement on that front in the last couple of years and heading to a more dynamic work environment.

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.
