Pros

The people at checkpoint are a pleasure to work with, and are very professional. The atmosphere is good, and you can learn a lot.

Cons

The wages in some roles are not very competitive, and you need to make sure you get into a team that does interesting stuff, as not all teams do.

Pros

Some of the people are great, free lunch, but it's low quality, opportunities to do a ton of work and build a portfolio.

Cons

1. Micro management from Israel. 2. They expect a lot from marketing, yet never approve anything we want to do, therefore handcuffing us (understatement) 3. Incompetent and inexperienced people are hired and kept in the organization, even when there are obvious problems with them (includes management). 4. Very high turnover, due to people becoming so frustrated with horrible processes. 5. High stress levels, toxic work environment.

Pros

Check point has a great work environment. The managers, and senior technicians are very helpful and technical. There is no micromanaging and managers are very trusting. There are training, and opportunities to grow and learn more of the product. Free lunch, quarterly dinners. Great health insurance. CP TAC is a great place to get your foot in the door. They hire new people to the industry, and it's a good for learning networking and security.

Cons

Every little thing is micro managed by the CEO and those close to him. This gives managers no room for autonomy. If you work hard, you will be used. The pay is nominal compared to the stress in day to day activities, not even mentioning what your market value is after 24 months. Check Point is cheap. You have to fight the higher ups to get devices and equipment to do your job. Considering how much Check Point makes, the fraction that goes into retaining employees and building better infrastructure for us to do our jobs in nominal if non existent.
