Check Point Software Technologies reviews

Metrics. If you are measured on your 24 hour closure rate for tickets and every customer says "keep the case open for a couple of days so we can monitor," well, there goes your 24 hour closure rate. Metrics are not used as a means to monitor customer activity and satisfaction, or to reward a good employee for a job well done - metrics are used as a tool to deny bonuses and raises and promotions. You are always treated like a juvenile, always needing supervision and grooming. I personally have a problem with the alcohol. We have a beer keg in the office and many have mini fridges under their desks with more. I understand that sometimes work, especially at Check Point, can get to you, but this can't be OSHA compliant. Maybe one day when someone gets killed leaving work there will be a policy change.

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.
