      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

      Check point has a great work environment. The managers, and senior technicians are very helpful and technical. There is no micromanaging and managers are very trusting. There are training, and opportunities to grow and learn more of the product. Free lunch, quarterly dinners. Great health insurance. CP TAC is a great place to get your foot in the door. They hire new people to the industry, and it's a good for learning networking and security.

      Cons

      Every little thing is micro managed by the CEO and those close to him. This gives managers no room for autonomy. If you work hard, you will be used. The pay is nominal compared to the stress in day to day activities, not even mentioning what your market value is after 24 months. Check Point is cheap. You have to fight the higher ups to get devices and equipment to do your job. Considering how much Check Point makes, the fraction that goes into retaining employees and building better infrastructure for us to do our jobs in nominal if non existent.
