Check Point is a great place to grow as a cybersecurity professional

Security engineer

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Working at Check Point is great. There is room to grow as professional. Check Point has a broad portfolio, I see that as a plus, because I get to learn about other technologies, and to have a holistic view of cybersecurity. I am happy with the salary, compensation package and stock options. The culture at Check Point is to help each other and collaborate. It is a very friendly environment, and you can see it across all regions from Americas, EMEA, & APAC.

Cons

When you work for a technology company, you need to drink from the firehouse. Technology is constantly changing and it makes it hard to become an expert on everything. You have to pick and choose what you are passionate about and focus on that area of expertise.

Great place for engineers

Software engineer

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

1. Variety of projects with different modern technologies. 2. Can move between groups to diversify if needed. 3. Great work-life balance including option for full remote work with very flexible hours. 4. Not afraid to accept junior developers and coaching them.

Cons

1. The pay is just slightly below normal but still high enough in my opinion for my location, yearly pay rises and bonuses included. 2. This is a big company so you could face some bureaucratic bullcrap sometimes

Great Company - Great technology

Security engineer

Business Outlook

Pros

Checkpoint is a great company to work for, but you should be very clear on how things work as far as administration (pay, commission, expenses, home office) policies. There is no lack of your ability to learn broad and deep.

Cons

The company is very frugal in the cost of doing business. This may be a sticking point for new hires from other companies.
