Scrub leads, make calls, motivate self due to lack of leadership and maintain ever growing targets
Business Development Rep (Current Employee) – Ottawa, ON – 16 October 2017
Typical days would involve scrubbing leads and making calls and sending emails. Booking a sale whenever possible.
I learned to self motivate as there is a lack of leadership in my position (BDR)
Hardest part of the job would be keeping pace with the ever growing targets and lack of listening from management.
Best part of the job is working at your own pace (as long as you maintain targets, there aren't any questions)

Management doesn't care unfortunately
L3 support (Current Employee) – Ottawa, ON – 3 April 2018
I have been working for over eight years. People and technology are excellent. However, at the CEO & CTO has no vision, to control, cause management to be yes men.
Until CEO & CTO is replaced this company will ever be a true class.
IT company. Sad.

Management is very nice about the deadline. Stress-free environment. Salary is a bit issue. Flexible work hours. The hardest part is to communicate with other teams
Best of breed product line
Regional Account Manager - Central Ontario (Current Employee) – Toronto, ON – 30 March 2017
Although a lack of marketing hinders brand awareness, excellent products more than make up for this.
Company benefits are quite good, and very competitive with the rest of the industry

Business Development Executive (Current Employee) – Toronto, ON – 20 April 2016
Work at home. So can be challenging. Rest of the time travelling in the GTA to meet customers. Management is remote. hardest part of the job is working at home. Most enjoyable is finding and closing new customers.
Large collection of products
Courseware developer (Former Employee) – Burnaby, BC – 22 January 2016
Fortinet has a dizzying arrangement of products and services. It is a daunting task to keep track of all of the features on just one product, let alone the entire product line they provide.
Exciting technology company in a very fast growing feid
Training operations coordinator (Current Employee) – Burnaby, BC – 19 February 2014
Over the years with this company it has proven to be very robust and have many opportunities worldwide. That being said it is also in a very specific market of high tech and this can be considered volatile.
Fortinet has also proved to be a market leader or near the top. Started as a very foreign company but has grown to take on all the attributes of a North American modeled firm
