Pros

Fortinet is an excellent company to work for as they have a fantastic product to sell. They are a top company who are leading the market and have a strong brand.

Cons

BDR management in Reading is terrible. The behaviour is manipulative, vindictive fashion which causes all the team members to have low moral. The team is micro-managed in a dictatorial way. Many team members are considering leaving Fortinet as a result; this is a real shame as it is a superb company.

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.
