Pros

Strong historical market presence. Top notch research team. Very reliable work place. Good place to start your career (and then quickly move on). Good work-life balance.

Cons

Very stagnant. Upper management very outdated. The spirit is "we can do everything ourselves, with fraction of the manpower". Obviously, this approach inevitably fails, that time or another. Too many failed products, and they just won't get discontinued. Cheapness where ever you check. For a company that relies on qualified manpower, it does very little to retain people. Work conditions are very outdated, and don't match the industry standards. Employees generally dislike the company.

Company to retire with

Pros

Big company that you can retire with If you stay out of politics (by being a manager or by caring too much and trying to promote stuff), you can free ride your career until retirement. Its also a great learning bed for experts so whoever leaves, will be able to use that knowledge and experience collected and use it in a more fruitful way

Cons

Old and Heavy - upper Management controls everything down to expansing the mouse you use on your desk (and more weird stuff). As an employee (and a manager) you are insignificant and a pion in this game

Pros

Check Point technology, stability are one of the best. But more important company's values. Environment is very nice. Excellent support from HR in every single aspect.

Cons

Upper management could share their vision about the company's future since it is trying to develop new products in new areas. Compensation is not the best. Other companies pay top dollar.
