Pros

It is exciting to be working for a pioneer in Internet security. As a Check Point customer for many years, it has been exciting to become an employee and be able to help other customers succeed deploying Check Points industry leading security. Even though Check Point is not perfect, the management team cares about the success of both the customer as well as the Check Point employee. I enjoy working at Check Point as I am challenged to assist customers in their success.

Cons

Event though I fully support Check Points business strategy as Check Point continues to increase sales and profit every year, I believe Check Point could do a better job at growing the business by not simply relying on organic sales and making more significant acquistions, better marketing, and simplification of product features.

Pros

Very stable company with excellent security products. Great relationship with local management team who will do all they can to support me meeting my goals and quota. Lots of opportunity to grow your knowledge in the security field with plenty of training opportunities.

Cons

Low pay, well below average for the position and what competitors pay. Hard to understand comp plan with lots of caveats that make it difficult to get paid on what you actually sell. Limited marketing, the sales people seem to be the marketing. Getting the help you need from corporate to help sell is a challenge at times and lots of hoops to jump through.

Pros

Very stable company that will treat you right if you dedicate yourself. No major layoffs in the company history - CEO takes employee wellbeing personal Best of breed technology that focuses on Threat Prevention (this is unique) Great people, feels like a family Team mentality - we all win or we all lose Good work/life balance Nice expense policy for customer and partner entertainment Best threat intelligence team in the market!

Cons

Limited career advancement opportunity if you are unable to relocate Limited marketing presence (although this has gotten much better in recent years) No home office expenses allowed (including internet, office supplies) Salaries are lower than competition unless you prove yourself - then they make it right Many decisions are made by main office in Israel - sometimes these decisions don't fit well with the US market. High sales team turnover (usually because the people hired were just not capable of doing the job)
