Pros

Nobody will tell you anything if you chill worker and don't want any growth or appraisal.

Cons

There will be no motivation for your work. repetitive work. after the first year, you will feel that there is no motivation to give your best from the knowledge or salary side because no knowledge gained in repetitive work and no increment although you will get demotivated because your junior will get a higher salary. So it will be like after 2 or 3 years you will be getting the same salary as a new grad working at a junior position. you will be disheartened because a Chinese colleague from your team will get a raise as well as a position, even if he/she is not a performer. Talking to your manager will not change anything because your manager will give you the excuse that in the middle of the year there will be no promotion but silently give a promotion to your Chinese colleague. they started a new trend to show liberals they are hiring Sikh guys with turbans and putting other cultural people one or two in each team. they are ok to give you a salary match when you are moving to another company such a pity. Fortinet is so cheap they will not give you promotion or appraisal to their employees when they are working but yes when an employee is fed up and moving then they are ok to give double salary.

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.

Pros

Solid, stable, predictable. Most people are out of the office by 4 or 5 pm. Life is easy and expectations are low.

Cons

Little support for marketing. Fortinet has too many products and too many product lines - and every product owner is fighting for attention of sales. The company is firmly wedded to it's hardware roots. Fortinet has not invested in internal systems. Reporting is awkard and cumbersome, and adaption on enterprise AI is still a long ways off. There are no women in senior roles.
