Outdated, cheap and amateur

Pros

Known for commercializing the firewall more than 20 years ago.

Cons

The company sheepishly clings to what the CEO/founder knew more than two decades ago. While the list of specific cons is long (from operations to marketing to human resources to customer service) you need only to look at their high rate of turnover to see where the company’s priorities are (average tenure is less than a year). The world is full of too many well-meaning, forward-looking, modern employers to spend your valuable talents here.

Mobility team is a continual disaster

Anonymous employee

Pros

Strong growth in cybersecurity market as a whole, great F1000 customer base Pretty good travel and expense policy for sales people (average) Local sales leadership is very strong, get it, takes good care to keep good people around

Cons

1.) If you are considering a role on the mobile security team, run....run very fast. CP is one of the only players poised to crush the emerging mobile threat market yet continues to fumble the ball. Leadership in Israel has mismatched expectations with what the market will bear/produce and the product is full of empty promises- development is slow and new releases are few and far between. Sales reps will not hit unrealistic quotas and they decelerate payments, plan on making just your base salary and traveling like a dog. In the end the lion share of the commissions are impossible to earn.
