Pros

% Able to work from home until it last.

Cons

- I am not happy, tired and very stressed !!!! - Understaffed, you will keep getting consistent interruptions to take calls from queue. - Even managers start to take calls due to understaff(ironically they think it's a positive moral example!!) - Quality of Resolution is not main priority, main priority is to achieve queue wait time. - Tickets backlog is large and there is barely time to follow up, backlog keeps growing daily and rapidly - No enough time to replicate customer's issues or do thorough research due to consistent interruptions to take calls. - Training is a term you will forget about, no time to study , you learn as you go by making mistakes, there is no time to resolve tickets rather than having a training. - Resolution quality started to decline, there is barley a time to research customers issues due to consistent interruptions. - Favoritism is very clear, if they favor someone, you will know it!! - Fastfood restaurant recognition style (very childish and immature), they hand amazon gift cards if you do a good job grapping many calls or positive feedbacks - If you have a nice phony voice and you know how to talk to customers, then you're good. it's all about prospective! - We are afraid to express our true concerns. - If you end up getting negative customer feedback for any other reason rather than provided service, you will stick with it! managers cannot over-ride customer feedback unless the customer went back and change it!!!! - We see more Senior employees on L1 and L2 quitting!! --------------- In addition to the above: - Extremely poor documentation, lack of good docs is a massive issue. - Fortinet products are infested with bugs. - Your official title should be a BUG ENGINEER, you will be extremely busy fixing high memory and crash issues. - If there is a new FoS firmware release, prepare of a BUGs diarrhea. - QA is something Fortinet doesn't do well, Devs are fixing a bug chances they will break five other features. - Old Bugs are revived while Devs trying to fix new bugs. - Their strategy is Fake it until you make it.

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.
