Check Point Software Technologies reviews

- Bad communication between departments - Most people get little to no training - Managers' hands are tied - lots of bureaucracy in terms of hiring and firing, and budget allocation. - The whole company is micromanaged by the top 2-3 execs - Pay is notoriously low and incentives are a joke - Marketing is suppressed and discouraged, if and when it exists - Sales teams are given ridiculous, increasingly-unachievable targets YoY, and Business Analysis cannot or will not explain the reasoning behind the commission structure. - Tasks change frequently, and if you're not adaptable/able to let the inconsistencies go over your head, it'll drive you crazy. - High staff turnover - Very cultural-specific mentality - if you want something, you have to make yourself heard, push for it, and make a fuss. - When raises are given (to people in the sales team), they are insultingly low.

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.
