Pros

Check Point is more than just a job for me this is my passion. I love helping people, fixing their issues and educating about the product. I'd say the biggest pro about this job is not only all the friends I've made over these past 10 years but the fact that this is a very stable job with zero layoffs since founded. Other than the amazing staff I'm sure everyone loves the great benefits package, free lunches and who can forget the fun we all experience every year with TAC Adventures. (Paintball / Laser tag this year was crazy fun)

Cons

The only major con I ran into with this job was the amount of stress it can bring to the table due to some of these critical cases we deal with and the desire to resolve such issues with expediency. I found over the years though while my experience with the product grew the less stress I felt.

Pros

Relaxed environment Great people, had a nice understanding and patient boss Stable company, almost no layoffs There are possibilities to move teams within the company

Cons

Not many options to advance (in my team) Pay is on the low side (in my role - not cross-company) A lot of old legacy code to maintain No new employee orientation or training (I was employed as a student with no experience) you get 'thrown in the water'

Pros

Big stable company. No mass layoffs. Great name on your resume. Conveniently situated near railway station. Chances to work on the latest security technologies. Various products and teams, many opportunities inside the R&D. Professional courses and lectures on a regular basis.

Cons

Compensation is below average. As a result, high staff turnover. Occasionally, development process and business decisions absurdly affected by internal politics. No car leasing. In many ways, gives the feeling of a cheap company: cramped offices, mediocre take away meals is the only lunch option, etc.
