Pros

This is a new review after more time there. Pro is the opportunity to work in Germany and to learn about Network Security. The salary is ok and RSU(attention: you get 100% just after 4 years!) is the only perk there.

Cons

Team understaffed and with a huge workload. The trainings provided to TAC Engineer are the same that Fortinet provides to customers and you have to figure out how to help customers. There is no staff meetings, everything comes by email or skype from the manager and you cannot question. Team Leads aren`t friendly and they`re there to make sure you take your daily dose of Tickets. There is no career plan, be sure you`ll be there for years and years. Employees are also very stressed due the huge amount of work and given this situation the individualism is high, don`t expect to find help so easy.

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.
