Pros

THE PEOPLE. I've been lucky enough to work with many different people over the years, and it'll be extremely difficult to find a better group of humans (trust me, I've tried!). Employees are extremely helpful, and many will go out of their way to help, regardless of their level. Coming in at a close second is our technology, which is truly industry leading. Check Point wins multiple awards each year, and it's amazing to see how the technology and products continue to progress. Last, but not least, are the opportunities that are available at Check Point. As Check Point continues to grow, there will be more internal opportunities for employees to be promoted and/or learn more in a different/parallel career path.

Cons

Having left Check Point and returned, I know firsthand that the challenges that exist are not unique to this company. The leaders Check Point has hired in recent years have brought in new best practices.

Pros

The core responsibilities offer solid experience, and many team members are dedicated, talented, and great to work with.

Cons

Lack of HR Support: The company lacks a safe, objective framework for employee feedback. When legitimate management issues were raised to HR, no corrective action was taken. Instead, it resulted in direct retaliation from leadership, which was left unaddressed by the organization. Significant Under-Market Pay: Compensation is well below industry standards for similar scopes of work. To give context, transitioning into a comparable role at a different company yielded a 37% increase in base pay. Flawed & Inaccurate Sales Compensation: The commission and incentive structures for the sales organization are unnecessarily convoluted. This complexity frequently leads to errors in commission payouts, causing widespread frustration among sellers. Notably, these calculation mistakes are consistently detrimental to the employee and rarely seem to resolve in the seller's favor. Siloed "HQ-Centric" Culture: There is a heavy disconnect between corporate headquarters and regional teams. The culture feels highly insular, creating an "in-group" dynamic where those outside of headquarters have very limited visibility, influence, or opportunities for career progression.
