Pros

If you like software development then it's a nice place to work. Nice people. Central Tel Aviv office location. Free and subsidised food. Big office, many people. Regular training opportunities. They do take on fresh graduates, but sometimes the level of training is lacking. Which is a pro and con in one.

Cons

Management is top heavy. The compensation package lacks many perks found at other similar technology companies for example company car, business class travel, comprehensive healthcare and dental.

Pros

Great technology and a lot to study

Cons

Low salary. EVERY (doesn't matter if it's a VP or tier 2 support engineer) position changes could take more than 3-4 month and have to be approved by the President and CEO (????). A lot of bureaucracy and politics!

Pros

Great technology. Established channel & customer base Good benefits Great people

Cons

Commission structure on paper looks okay, in reality targets change many times in a year, orders won get moved to other sales reps months after the sale. In short its almost impossible to figure out what you'll get paid or what might be taken away from your figures at a later date.

Pros

Positive changes this past year. Complete 180 from where we were a year ago. Excellent decision to promote individuals to technical managers who understand the technology and have a true understanding of what we are going through. Sr. Manager is engaging and provides room for growth.

Cons

Know? None. employees who expect others to do their job have been let go or so the writiing on the wall and left on there own.

Pros

Opportunity to learn about security software. Great technology company. Good benefits.

Cons

Management constantly berates you to the point you are unable to focus on job. Focus is on the negative; not what you're doing well. Insufficient training - not what was promised. Complete work overload. Competition has aggressive marketing / Check Point completely misses the mark in this area.

Pros

The technology is great. Benefits are good. Security Engineers were well received by clients.

Cons

On-boarding consists of 40 hours of pre-recorded webinars -- hardly sufficient for the breadth of job requirements. Very little sales support and encouragement from sales management. I stumbled for months because there was no real-world coaching; no substantial introduction to resources and internal systems; no quote development training; no CRM training - how to input data the Check Point way; an Account Base that changed dramatically after (3) months; rotating Sales Engineers. Customers had better relationships with Channel Partners than with Check Point. direct because of the rotating cast of Account Managers. Senior executives have no real understanding of the competitive landscape. Low Pay.
