Pros

The thing I enjoy best about Check Point being an engineer is that everyone is extremely knowledgeable and always willing to help. I have worked remote my entire tenure at Check Point and only occasionally visit an office, usually for training. My time is my own and I do not punch a clock. I am encouraged to explore my own passions and bring them with me when I engage with customers. It's a delight to be able to entertain customers and enjoy a nice meal, a game, a performance, or SCUBA diving. Check Point also throws great parties.

Cons

Being remote, regularly I only see my local co-workers, my customers and resellers. Personally I don't develop the same type or number of friendships being remote as working in an office, but on the positive side, I have made friends here I'll keep forever.

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.
