CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Company is stable and growing.

Cons

Lot of Asian Chinese , they will bluntly speak Mandarin in meetings. Its unlike you have seen anywhere. Working from office is a big pain as chinese everywhere and they dont show any respect for others, they are loud in breakout rooms speaking chinese. Culture of the management is my way or the highway. No learning in release qa even though there is so much to learn in diff products

Business Outlook

Pros

Competitive Salary, decent products, growth potential

Cons

Nickle and dime employees - no stock purchase plan, resists paying for home office equipment, no company phones... just an approach that seems to say, "Here's your salary, you don't need anything else" Also, there is a top down management style - initiative is not always rewarded

Don't work in the Plano TX office - TRUST ME!

Inside territory account manager

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Cool Sales People. That's really about it...

Cons

Micromanagement. Internal social cliques. Awful internal morale. Even worse culture. Territory splits. Department clashes. ZERO verbal appreciation as an employee. Poor commission structure & no run-rate payouts. Some territories are better than others (not all equal) & once you start doing well, it will get split. DO NOT WORK IN THE FORTINET SMB SEGMENT/PLANO TX OFFICE, YOU WILL HATE YOUR LIFE!
