Good enough to work for

Pros

Wide variety of security aspects, deep Windows internals, experienced and talented technology leaders.

Cons

Can't say much against the Check Point. IMO they should pay little more attention to bug fixing and refactoring than to new featured development.

Pros

I was lucky to work with a great team of people that I enjoyed seeing every day. I got to travel and kept a work-life balance. Some perks, like the employee stock purchase plan (ESPP) in Israel; central office location; holiday gifts.

Cons

- Bad communication between departments - Most people get little to no training - Managers' hands are tied - lots of bureaucracy in terms of hiring and firing, and budget allocation. - The whole company is micromanaged by the top 2-3 execs - Pay is notoriously low and incentives are a joke - Marketing is suppressed and discouraged, if and when it exists - Sales teams are given ridiculous, increasingly-unachievable targets YoY, and Business Analysis cannot or will not explain the reasoning behind the commission structure. - Tasks change frequently, and if you're not adaptable/able to let the inconsistencies go over your head, it'll drive you crazy. - High staff turnover - Very cultural-specific mentality - if you want something, you have to make yourself heard, push for it, and make a fuss. - When raises are given (to people in the sales team), they are insultingly low.
