Pros

- You get to work with some of the best minds in the IT security industry. - You get to work with Check Point's core firewall products which are considered leaders and visionary by third party assessors. - The company is small enough (c3000 emp.) for individuals to have their ideas listened to and when appropriate acted on. - Hardwork is recognised and commended. - A lot of money is invested into R&D over marketing (unlike some competitors...), this leads to the near constant release of new industry shaping products, such as the new Capsule offering.

Cons

- Despite Check Point security solutions being installed in 100% of Fortune and Global 100 companies, it is a relatively unknown company on the global corporate landscape.

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.
