Pros

If you are a corporate drone it's great to work here. You won't be asked to do anything for months or years at a time and still be paid.

Cons

Unfortunately, as soon as you disagree or have some opposing views with management, you will soon find yourself PIP'ed or worse, if you are an international employee, they will withhold your H1B or purposefully tamper with the submission status.

Inside Sales at Fortinet

Recommend
Business Outlook

Pros

Good products - specifically Next Generation Firewall and SASE.

Cons

Toxic leadership - if you are an Inside Sales rep, you have to create a weekly report of all the activity you did over the course of the week (quotes you built; what you covered in your 1:1's with your field reps; what education/learning opportunities you've been exploring, etc). It's the highest level of micro-management I've ever seen in my professional career.

Account Management

Recommend
Business Outlook

Pros

Good people/colleagues to work with

Cons

Poor management. You will be gaslighted and bullied by upper management. Meaning they want you to work with 1 team but do the responsibilities and roles of others. There is always a battle for accounts in the SMB/mid-market with your field reps. The corporate hierarchy (reporting to channel sales) does not make sense. The manager of the midmarket team is full of himself and should not be managing the team. He is running it like an inside team when it is not. He will not support his team members/employees. Hense many manager have left and most of the people will stay in role for 1 year and then leave. Many top performers are leaving. If you are looking for a resume builder this is a great role.
