Pros

Great Company, Smart and Welcoming People (FortiFamily) The Partner/distributor model is a great sales environment to work in vs a direct to consumer model in my opinion. Fortinet has a great partner engagement program. It's a great time to work for an industry leader selling the most in demand products/services right now. Always opportunity to grow in your career as the company grows. You don't have to stay in the same role for 2 or 3 plus years at Fortinet- unless you want to of course!

Cons

It's hard to say since Fortinet is so much better than my last employer. An extra percentage point on the 401k match would be nice. But then again you get some restricted stock units as a sales person so that is almost more valuable at a company like Fortinet that is in growth mode still.

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.
