Pros

Pay is OK. Benefits are good. Very few opportunities for growth. Since the company HQ is in Tel Aviv, you get to (or have to) fly out there at least once.

Cons

Worst culture you can imagine with very few upsides, no potential for any real growth, and frequent employee turnover... many new employees run away in the first 6 months. From a Silicon Valley culture perspective, Check Point is a "wannabe." With HQ half-way around the world and a very different culture in Israel, it makes Check Point a strange and extremely unproductive mash-up of dictatorship and socialism.

Pros

The core responsibilities offer solid experience, and many team members are dedicated, talented, and great to work with.

Cons

Lack of HR Support: The company lacks a safe, objective framework for employee feedback. When legitimate management issues were raised to HR, no corrective action was taken. Instead, it resulted in direct retaliation from leadership, which was left unaddressed by the organization. Significant Under-Market Pay: Compensation is well below industry standards for similar scopes of work. To give context, transitioning into a comparable role at a different company yielded a 37% increase in base pay. Flawed & Inaccurate Sales Compensation: The commission and incentive structures for the sales organization are unnecessarily convoluted. This complexity frequently leads to errors in commission payouts, causing widespread frustration among sellers. Notably, these calculation mistakes are consistently detrimental to the employee and rarely seem to resolve in the seller's favor. Siloed "HQ-Centric" Culture: There is a heavy disconnect between corporate headquarters and regional teams. The culture feels highly insular, creating an "in-group" dynamic where those outside of headquarters have very limited visibility, influence, or opportunities for career progression.
