Pros

Is a good place to learn, every day you will have a new challenge My colleagues were amazing If you want to get Fortinet certificates, you will have access to vouchers

Cons

- no career plan, if you try to apply for other internal positions you will never be successful, I heard from my manager that they prefer to hire someone from outside that allows you to move. -a really stressful job, you are like a fireman putting out the fire, people only call to ask for help, and most of the time you will not have time to test, analyze, or to do real troubleshooting, because every problem is the most important one. -Some customers are rude and will threaten you poorly -Some customers don't have any IT background, are you will be talking with doors -The Portuguese TAC is like an island, isolated from the rest of the company, you will only meet other people at the Christmas dinner, and you will never be invited to any event in the company, to tech event outside, nothing -You will never get any training from other vendors, cloud, etc -Dont believe in company promises

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.
