Pros

Strong brand/market awareness and reputation for firewall products. Loyal customer base that continues to buy products and renew maintenance contracts. There is some decent technology, and stable products, but...

Cons

Success/strength is limited to firewall business and a somewhat loyal customer base. Extremely difficult working environment with substantial turn over. Everybody is micro-managed at every step, which makes breaking away difficult. People are not empowered, and it is very difficult to bring new ideas to the table. The working environment is perhaps the biggest issue at Check Point that inhibits their success. Although the technology is sound and stable, it is not cutting edge. They have not been able to see much success in new areas of security technology. Hardware-based model is not adapting to current market trends.

Pros

Stable work place. Well Known & Successful in the security field. Nice co-workers. A lot of job opportunities inside the company. Bonus at the end of the year + company options investment program. A lot of beautiful girls work there). A lot of restaurants to order food from. The new products support new and better technologies. They do try to make the workplace better and solve the problems relating the work process. The HR are responsive and helpful.

Cons

Not very organized work process. Typically late on schedules. To much background noise and interrupts making the work process agitating. A lot of co dependents with a work overload, makes it difficult to progress. A lot of old & legacy products to support. Cannot use 10bis in restaurants outside, except maybe one or two. Lack of young spirit\culture. Lately more people leave the company the get hired, which makes it even more difficult on those who stay.

Pros

Great team work, great leader in charge , great technology behind the product , great opportunity for travel ,

Cons

Theres not much. Every work place will over work engineers. This place doesn't. If all depends how you manage your work load. Your outcome depends how much you out in. Compensation could be better. Other jobs pay more but doesn't mean it's not a good place to be.

A stable place, many people work there for long periods. There is an options plan and other financial benefits. There are many talented people.

Cons

Work is always under pressure, working with old technologies, not that good atmosphere and many people are very frustrated.
