Check Point Software Technologies reviews about "layoff"

The pay is significantly lower than competitors, and rises slowly. Not many chances of advancing from manual QA for the first 2-3 years if you come in with no experience.

Personally, I don't have many. That's why I've been here for so long.

conservative, move slow to market dynamics

Pay is well below industry standards. Local management has no decision making power the consistently blames Israel for illogical decisions and directives. Constantly manipulating quota/targets. Ex. Deal not showing under your sales credit, you get the revenue assigned correctly after much fighting, but your quota goes up by twice the value of the deal, sighting the “potential revenue” for that customer. They have been doing layoffs through Covid, but say they are not doing so. Putting people on plan instead and will dismiss as under performing in order to dump higher salaries.

If you gave three kids, health insurance is expensive.

HQ is in Tel Aviv. Getting things done is hard, slow, and painful. Marketing leaves a lot to be desired. Slow and insufficient funding and competition out-markets us 10 to 1. CP needs to do more M&A to stay competitive and needs more third party validation.

Limited career advancement opportunity if you are unable to relocate Limited marketing presence (although this has gotten much better in recent years) No home office expenses allowed (including internet, office supplies) Salaries are lower than competition unless you prove yourself - then they make it right Many decisions are made by main office in Israel - sometimes these decisions don't fit well with the US market. High sales team turnover (usually because the people hired were just not capable of doing the job)

Very concervative, 3 people making all the decisions, relatively low compensation

-Very Understaffed, the company expects you to do more with less. -Underpaid. Competitors are offering much more. -Lots of turnovers. -Not great R&D support. Also, they work Sunday to Thursday, so getting their support on Friday is near impossible. -Stock hasn't moved in 5 years. This doesn't get investors excited. -The Founder is still running the company. Someone new/fresh needs to take over. -Nothing exciting has happened since sandblast in 2017. -R80 came out 3 years too late. -Don't have time to train engineers. They're stuck on calls for a long time. They would be on the calls less if we gave them training but we can't give them training cause they're on calls. -There's a lot of hate between TAC groups (DTAC/OTAC/IL-TAC) There needs to be global leadership and unity.
