Used to be great. Nit-picking is eating away at morale

System engineer

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Sales Engineers are remote workers, and most of the work can be done from home. Schedule flexibility Pay is good (but also comparable to similar roles at other tech companies)

Cons

Nit-picking about every little thing is wearing away at morale. Expense reports FREQUENTLY rejected at first-pass for different reasons each time. Heavy lift of training requirements that is mostly expected to be done after work hours. Very little voice in the direction of products or the company. Large product portfolio, but difficult to get specialist support when needed, especially for first-sale deals Quotas used to be challenging but attainable. Now they are becoming unrealistically high.

No Direction

Inside sales representative

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Lots of great people, nice office space, opportunity to learn in a fast paced environment

Cons

Any messaging from the top of the sales org is shared straight down to you with no filter in an oppressive fashion. Leaders often are forced to sacrifice their voice to appease whatever message the company is pushing onto its people that quarter.

Major Account Manager for Service Providers

Business Outlook

Pros

Being listed on the NYSE makes it very clear to everyone that we must provide accurate information on business developments. In short, Fortinet already offers comprehensive security solutions for service providers, protecting their networks and systems against advanced threats and ensuring the reliability and performance of their services. And we're making progress!

Cons

When listing on the stock exchange, the work must be detailed and very precise, something difficult for our Latin American Service Providers to achieve. But we're already achieving it.
