Pros

The only reason I gave 2 starts instead of 1 is the pay being above average. This advantage will be gone in no time as more and more US companies coming to Vancouver and paying $100,000 + for even new grads.

Cons

1. If you don't speed Mandarin, you are minority. Some teams do meetings and interviews in Mandarin. 2. If you insist on good practise, you are minority. You are expected to just get the work done ASAP. 3. "Let me help you with that" is not a thing... 4. Micro-management is everywhere 5. The tools and infrastructure they use are at least 10 years old. If you want to learn knowledge that are used elsewhere, don't go to Fortinet! 6. I can do this all day, but I will stop here because I think the things I listed above will be more than enough to stop you :)

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.
