Checkpoint Systems Reviews

Pros

People is nice and work time flexible

Cons

Not competitive in salary, compensation and even product

Advice to Senior Management

Focus more on developing new product and revenue growth instead of cost control

Pros

Convenience location and job autonomy

Cons

Things are decided based on how much someone likes you.

Advice to Senior Management

Base decisions on skill set and contributions not who you spend your free time with.

Pros

- It is nice to see the things that you work on out in the field and doing what they are supposed to be doing

Cons

- Salary didnt appear on the bell curve which I thought was a statistical impossibility
- Hired for X, had my doing Y. Y was mind numbingly boring
- Schedules were unrealistic and had to put in uncompensated Friday nights and weekends in an effort to bring the work in line with the schedule

Advice to Senior Management

Was not there for too long when Mr. van der Merwe was the CEO of Checkpoint systems, although he did run me off the road a few times on my way to work

Pros

Interesting work, but it depends on the project

Cons

Low salaries, but it also depends on the project

Pros

Equitable pay structure. Company employs a personal responsibility format and departments are not micromanaged.

Cons

Some corporate decisions aee made without regard for impact on customer relations.

Pros

The company itself (as far as the product we make/sell) is absolutley phenominal. Fully believe this is the best security product on the market.

Cons

No raises, if you want advancement they base it off your current salary (which is low to begin with). They offer you a 15% MBO bonus, which in my time here, I have never received the full percent.

I have worked numerous times through midnight, weekends, etc to only see more work come my way. Multiple persons are doing multiple jobs and are not happy. Employee moral is very low.

Advice to Senior Management

Take care of the valuable employees/hard workers...If not motivation/loyalty will dicipate.

Pros

Check Point is one of the largest and more professional high tech firms

Cons

Not enough work for marketing and technical writing. Was a hiring freeze and was paying student salaries for skilled work.

Advice to Senior Management

Expand to skilled marketing and business support within Israel.

Pros

Broad exposure to the latest security technology. Good working environment. Good benefits and some very sharp groups. Growth through new products and services.

Cons

Slow to move, internal focus, and not on top of the market. New products are very competitive, but lack of focus and general down turn in economy are impacting roll outs.

Advice to Senior Management

Be more aggressive, shake up the status quo
