Pros

I worked for Check Point for 4 years and it always felt like family. I took pride in selling the technology because I believed in it. Lots of opportunity for training and to be a part of new industry events. I especially loved the travel and the speaking opportunities.

Though I have heard valid downsides, I did not personally experience many negatives.

Many high performing team members that are right there beside you. Many technical resources including Check Mates and CP Research that are available to the public and support the better good.

Brand recognition in US needs continued development. Many aren’t aware of the real world efficiencies and comprehensive 0 day threat prevention capabilities of Check Point solutions.

Pros

You get to work with some of the best technology out there. Hands down, the technology and the people who help run it are top notch. I've learned so much being here over the last couple of years, it filled in the gaps in a list of technologies that I didn't have working as an SE in other companies.

Cons

They are sometimes a bit too frugal when it comes to giving you what you need to do your job well. It can be a bit frustrating to navigate that aspect.

Pros

The technology are among the best. I learned a lot during my time here. The managers are all very supportive and want you to succeed and will do everything in their power to help. At the end of the day you get what you put in.

Cons

The company is known to be cheap and could use a bit more marketing.

Pros

Great opportunity - I joined Check Point through their Entry Level Program, which included 9 weeks in Tel Aviv at HQ. They taught me how to be a customer facing engineer, which jump started my career. Solid tech. Nothing can be taken away from Checkpoint on the technology front, they have and will continue to build a top tier next gen security platform.

Cons

Pay is not on par with industry competitors, variable compensation seems to be "up to management" and sometimes territory definition is so disjointed that you work projects/deals and end up not being compensated. Really tough to move up within the company without switching teams/roles, compensation increases are promised and then delayed for significant amounts of time due to the disconnect between US based leaders and Israeli HQ.
