Pros

Absolutely nothing especially if it's a sales or marketing role.

Cons

Where do I start? They are coming thick and fast in my head. Let's see, how about lousy (read: below market compensation) for ALL roles? The HR has a mandate from the Tel Aviv HQ to hire ONLY sales reps and presales engineers with less than 9 years working experience to keep costs down. In a hyper-growth industry like cyber-security, any sales organization worth its salt would want to grab the best in the market and pay accordingly yet we have Check Point Software treating its sales staff little better than cheap chattel. In the words of one of my ex-colleagues " In his former company (OR****), sales are KINGS! In check point, sales are worse off than SLAVES. Superlatives yes but very true.

Pros

Easy and quick promotions. Even a fresher with 1 year of experience can become a T3 Company will take care of you in all possible ways. One of the most friendly higher management. Frequent parties Good medical coverage. Higher maganemet will try to assist on your personal issues as well.

Cons

Team leads here will not assist you technically and are just to poke you. Not case with night shift . The volume of work is on much higher side, sr will be on your bins for 15 days and you will not get chance to work on. It. No work life balance. Even if you get promoted, don't expect a decent hike as it will be merged with annual appraisal. It is worse than service based. No technical help as senior engineer and escalation engineers are also over burdened . You will get cases on technology you are not trained on, no training will be provided. TAC is total mess due to mismanagement. Not salary breakup or total CTC is provided by organization, no salary revision letter or promotion letter is provided or organization.
