Pros

They buy you lunch, and every five years or so give you a week's paid vacation somewhere nice.

Cons

Technically almost clueless. Flagrant violations of Brooks Law lead to frequent death marches. Management is also morally impaired. I had an accident and got 30K from the insurance, which was less than what the accident costs me, Check Point wanted to keep 27K to pay for the medical expenses its health coverage had to pay. I had to spend thousand in lawyers to negotiate the figure down to 9K, which they took, regardless. That is after I paid thousand in health insurance premiums. Yes, there is a federal law that allows them to do that. That happened after the CEO can't stop boasting that Check Point has 3 billions cash in the bank, when he speaks. Every time a customer hired an outside penetration tester to test the defenses Check Point provides it failed embarrassingly. The company has no technical standards so anything goes. Cryptic code, too many languages, no uniformity. Not good.

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.
