Pros

Check Point family, the team is amazing. The best professionals I've ever worked with. Good products. Opportunities to travel around the world.

Cons

Managers in Israel want to know everything and make all decisions. All new hires must be approved by Gil (CEO).

Pros

They buy you lunch, and every five years or so give you a week's paid vacation somewhere nice.

Cons

Technically almost clueless. Flagrant violations of Brooks Law lead to frequent death marches. Management is also morally impaired. I had an accident and got 30K from the insurance, which was less than what the accident costs me, Check Point wanted to keep 27K to pay for the medical expenses its health coverage had to pay. I had to spend thousand in lawyers to negotiate the figure down to 9K, which they took, regardless. That is after I paid thousand in health insurance premiums. Yes, there is a federal law that allows them to do that. That happened after the CEO can't stop boasting that Check Point has 3 billions cash in the bank, when he speaks. Every time a customer hired an outside penetration tester to test the defenses Check Point provides it failed embarrassingly. The company has no technical standards so anything goes. Cryptic code, too many languages, no uniformity. Not good.
