Great company with lots of opportunity

Business Outlook

Pros

The culture here is great! They invest in their employees and offer great benefits and amazing time off. 401k matching, ESPP, almost 3 weeks PTO every year. So many opportunities for growth. If you do well you can expect promotions or raises. Like with every company, your experience really depends on your managers and I have been lucky to only have amazing managers who supported me and pushed me in my career, even if it meant leaving their team.

Cons

Management can be slow to change. Focus is heavy on R&D, not enough on marketing but this seems to be changing slowly

Pros

Great tech, wonderful day to day peers. Good opportunity to break into cyber. Decent work/life balance.

Cons

If you’re in sales role of any kind, the OTE means nothing. Executive management plays games with quotas every single year. No visibility into annual comp plans until May! CEO makes ALL decisions meaning other managers can ONLY manage down. Bottleneck. Can’t keep talented people for long.

Pros

The technology are among the best. I learned a lot during my time here. The managers are all very supportive and want you to succeed and will do everything in their power to help. At the end of the day you get what you put in.

Cons

The company is known to be cheap and could use a bit more marketing.

almost a great thing

Account manager

Business Outlook

Pros

People - Coworkers both local and abroad. It really was like family. Lateral movement - Do your time in role and there is plenty of opportunities to grow. Pay - This is a mixed bag. You really have to know YOUR value and fight for it. Check Point will pay for good talent. Variable - Understand that you will have to hustle for your commission and don't expect any in year 1, but yr2+ it should stabilize. Tech-Solid tech with light innovation. RSU/Health/ESPP- Performance RSU's are good for retention. Health benefits are good enough/Employee Stock Purchase Plan is a great way to make some extra %

Cons

Comp plan - Very open to managers discretion. 50% baseline to hit dollar 1. Territory's and quotas are a mess. Many great reps have been run off? Management - How many VP's has the company been through? How many great people have been run off? Mid/upper mgmt - Frontline managers are great. Unfortunately they are stifled by underwhelming/revolving mid/upper management.

Pros

Managers are open to new ideas from developers

Cons

Salary is below average Developers often need to engage in non-development tasks from other technical areas that should be performed by other professional teams, instead of using R&D for pure development - in my opinion it's a waste of R&D time.
