Avoid TAC role at LATAM

Technical support engineer

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

If you work in Pre-sales you’ll probably have a better experience. HR activities pre-covid. health benefits.

Cons

-TAC Management for Latam doesn’t care about or doesn’t do anything about the general discontent. -Tried to let them know how underpaid the position is compared to similar roles in other companies and they keep saying that it's in fact competitive. -No WLB, you're drinking from a firehose every single day -Regionalism culture and it shows! If you belong to MEX TAC & BRA TAC you will be better off -Promotion is less than 15% and if you get it, forget about the yearly raise If you don't get a promotion, be advised that your yearly raise will be max 5%, 3.5% this year, and some other post-sales areas 1.5%. So basically it accounts for yearly inflation.

This is a Meat Grinder

Technical support engineer ii

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

This is a new review after more time there. Pro is the opportunity to work in Germany and to learn about Network Security. The salary is ok and RSU(attention: you get 100% just after 4 years!) is the only perk there.

Cons

Team understaffed and with a huge workload. The trainings provided to TAC Engineer are the same that Fortinet provides to customers and you have to figure out how to help customers. There is no staff meetings, everything comes by email or skype from the manager and you cannot question. Team Leads aren`t friendly and they`re there to make sure you take your daily dose of Tickets. There is no career plan, be sure you`ll be there for years and years. Employees are also very stressed due the huge amount of work and given this situation the individualism is high, don`t expect to find help so easy.

Pros

The people are so good to communicate with each other, even high level of mangement is very good in technical side, free dinner. No strict rigid and less office political conflict.

Cons

Poor managements, lack of communication in the team, the benefit are just so so, technical implementations are not so good, still do stuff like start up. No potential to become a big company.
