Sales Candidates Beware

Pros

The technology is great. Benefits are good. Security Engineers were well received by clients.

Cons

On-boarding consists of 40 hours of pre-recorded webinars -- hardly sufficient for the breadth of job requirements. Very little sales support and encouragement from sales management. I stumbled for months because there was no real-world coaching; no substantial introduction to resources and internal systems; no quote development training; no CRM training - how to input data the Check Point way; an Account Base that changed dramatically after (3) months; rotating Sales Engineers. Customers had better relationships with Channel Partners than with Check Point. direct because of the rotating cast of Account Managers. Senior executives have no real understanding of the competitive landscape. Low Pay.

Pros

-Check Point is known as a provider of high end security solutions. -Vacation. -Meals are provided if working form an office. -Can be a good place to start as they hire with little or no experience.

Cons

-Management is poorly supervised and can be abusive including physical abuse. -Most employees are cowed by Israeli leadership. -A management culture that is condescending and looks down on North American employees exists here. -Poor "On-Boarding" process. -Travel and Expense process is predatory and painful. -Sales quotas are frequently raised and past sales arbitrarily reallocated at EOQ/ EOY.

Challenging, engaging, and underpaid

Pros

Check Point has a Challenging environment, where you will almost certainly learn something new every day, with great coworkers. They provide meals (lunch) as a benefit, and have an excellent medical benefits program.

Cons

The worst parts about working at Check Point are: The stress. Often you will need to work very hard -- put in (unpaid) overtime, and sacrifice your work life balance to stand out as a valued employee. Frequently you will be underpaid in relation to others doing the same work at different companies. There is a feeling of being treated as a cost rather than an asset; and I have witnessed quite a few co-workers leaving for substantially greater salaries at other companies.
