Pros

Fortinet is an excellent company to work for as they have a fantastic product to sell. They are a top company who are leading the market and have a strong brand.

Cons

BDR management in Reading is terrible. The behaviour is manipulative, vindictive fashion which causes all the team members to have low moral. The team is micro-managed in a dictatorial way. Many team members are considering leaving Fortinet as a result; this is a real shame as it is a superb company.

Poor Leadership

Recommend
Business Outlook

Pros

Great technology, lots of good people who work at Fortinet, Nice offices, pay and benefits are great, you should be able to make great money here as an AM or CAM. Lots of really smart people at Fortinet, in all departments up to and including the founders obviously. They're leaders in the industry.

Cons

Leadership at the VP level and up is poor.... You'll be amazed at how much and how little requires CEO/CTO/CFO approval. This leaves middle management paralyzed and indecisive, nothing can get done and everyone is afraid to make a decision. Poor communication at every level and in every department... This results in a lot of fear and uncertainty and I don't think they mind. Directors and VP's will vanish with no acknowledgement or explanation to anyone. Employees are left to search LinkedIn to see what happen to them... Not a lot of adherence to HR best practices so people lose their job and have no idea it's coming. It's not that the managers in the sales regions are bad leaders, they're just powerless and afraid.

Pros

Great technology company, products/ services easy to sell. Nice team of hard working individuals. Good benefits.

Cons

BDR Managment is unprofessional, and borderline abusive. I’ve seen and heard management repeatedly use sexual innuendo and sexiest remarks which makes team memebers including myself very uncomfortable. All reports made to HR and higher management, igorned. Atmosphere has become very depressing, everyone is scared to go to HR, because they will get fired (as examples where set, when others complained)everyone is finding it hard to do their job. Some people left, are interviewing elsewhere or keeping records and looking at their legal options. ..: if your looking for a vendor with a call Center mentally, micro managment, begin treated like school children while someone hurls abuse at you.. then this is the place for you.
