Pros

Good firewal sales in mid segment

Cons

Leadership is bias' they bring in people from competition who has zero leadership skill and who has never handled large teams'. Failed model. They only promote female employees and create bias always give them stage and recognition because they are close to management. Zero merit for performance. Worst HR i have seen here. Never ever spoken about employee concerns they also support power. Useless. Hiring also is worst. If your worked with leadership u get job with more salary and ranks else u never climb any ladder. My female colleagues grow much faster here

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.
