Terrible management

Pros

Nice office, lovely colleagues, interesting product

Cons

A professional development in the company to other roles is hardly possible from renewals, prohibited by middle management. Many complaints to HR about this situation haven't made any changes. HR doesn't seem to have much decision power compared to managers who have been in their role over 10 years. Questioning how things are handled is seen as being negative. The work atmosphere is not collaborative with other teams. People don't want to say anything in the meetings for fear of being reprimanded.

Pros

Team; like-minded team members Product Brand Hybrid work

Cons

Managers/Business stakeholders; it depends if their working style and communication style is within your threshold. We have the reasonable, understanding, nurturing types. On the other hand, we also have the de-motivators, the emotional, only question but no inputs, no guts types. Internal process; much to improve. Like most companies, feedbacks and suggestions from small regions are insignificant to the HQ. Be prepared to spend your time helping the people in different departments in HQ to speak to one another even though they are sitting in the same building and/or most probably speak the same language. For newcomers, be prepared to bang around to get answers as the People Directory/Wiki doesn't help to tell you what their role focus within their department. Consider yourself lucky if they are kind enough/have the knowledge to direct you to the right person in their department. Most decisions from the HQ are penny wise, pound foolish. From what I see, the HRs on the ground tried their best but as always there is always a limit how much they can do.

Pros

The work culture is very nice, and the managers are supportive. For the T2 level, there is a dedicated training for two months which provides a good starting point for people going into the networking field.

Cons

After training sometimes the learning curve could be steep due to the numerous Checkpoint's in-house products. Time and stress management are key in this job

Pros

Great people to work with, And you are at the forefront of the industry, so you gain excellent experience for the rest of your career, in my opinion, an excellent place to start. Also, most of the people in the department are quite young (about 25-35 years old) which gives good vibes. - ESPP, Free Gym, Parking and 10Bis included

Cons

- If you are not getting promoted to a manager position, you make your way out of the company after around two years - Average rate or a little less of salary compared to what is accepted in the market
