            Mostly great and very nice people!! Great if you have a family and feel like hiding under the radar.

            Cons

            Very disorganised. Cheap. Employees going to support customers are advised to get a bicycle or take multiple buses. Too many people complaining yet staying because of comfort.

                    Pros

                    Check Point is a solid company with solid tech, a major player in the cyber security space. There's security in knowing we aren't likely to be affected by a breach. Culture and benefits are great. Its great on your resume and the people are supportive

                    Cons

                    Does not pay as well as competitors, difficult to move up and receive competitive pay marketing doesn't exist making sales jobs difficult headquartered in Israel and micromanaged from afar causing executive decisions that don't benefit the Americas The TAC centers, particularly in Texas do not take the necessary HR steps to support and protect the environment of women in a male dominated field

                      Pros

                      The company has a long history in cyber security They look for new ways that organizations can be compromised and come up with solutions The company cares about the quality of its products They continually invest more heavily in R&D vs marketing They are methodical and control the growth of the company Great people all around the organization with some of the brightest people I have ever met Company provides for work/life balance and gives impression of caring about the employees

                      Cons

                      Competitive industry Advertising is very limited which results in increased competitive pressure Pay is fair Methodical nature of company can make development/growth feel slow/sluggish

                        Interesting work in a fast-paced environment with hybrid, on-site and remote work options. Check Point is a stable company with strong leaders in a growing market (cybersecurity). Plus the people are really friendly and willing to help which leads to great collaboration between teams.

                        Cons

                        Work days start really early given Israel HQ, but Fridays are very quiet!

                      Got booted from my former position about 4 years ago, which I LOVED. I have the impression I was "kept" in sympathy. Now that I have my feet beneath me, I feel like I'm running in place. Over the past 2 years, I've probably applied for about 100 positions in other departments. True, a few were unlikely moonshots, but for the most part I didn't misrepresent myself. Am I the world's worst interviewer? Otherwise.. shouldn't I have been accepted elsewhere, by choice?

                      Administrative Assistant

                      I haven't worked since Jan. 2020 when my job as administrative assistant for the Hospitalist group was eliminated. I can't begin to count the number of applications submitted, interviews I've had, jobs that I was told were mine then they weren't, etc. Several jobs have fallen through or not panned out. I am not a job hopper and want to stay where I go. I have a zoom interview tomorrow for a front desk receptionist position at an oral surgeon's office. Any interview tips are appreciated.

                      Hey all, I’m looking for advice on program manager hypothetical interviews such as: “what would you do if X happened?” Is there a particular thing or core value that Bloomberg looks for? Thanks!
