Pros

Strong brand/market awareness and reputation for firewall products. Loyal customer base that continues to buy products and renew maintenance contracts. There is some decent technology, and stable products, but...

Cons

Success/strength is limited to firewall business and a somewhat loyal customer base. Extremely difficult working environment with substantial turn over. Everybody is micro-managed at every step, which makes breaking away difficult. People are not empowered, and it is very difficult to bring new ideas to the table. The working environment is perhaps the biggest issue at Check Point that inhibits their success. Although the technology is sound and stable, it is not cutting edge. They have not been able to see much success in new areas of security technology. Hardware-based model is not adapting to current market trends.

Pros

The core responsibilities offer solid experience, and many team members are dedicated, talented, and great to work with.

Cons

Lack of HR Support: The company lacks a safe, objective framework for employee feedback. When legitimate management issues were raised to HR, no corrective action was taken. Instead, it resulted in direct retaliation from leadership, which was left unaddressed by the organization. Significant Under-Market Pay: Compensation is well below industry standards for similar scopes of work. To give context, transitioning into a comparable role at a different company yielded a 37% increase in base pay. Flawed & Inaccurate Sales Compensation: The commission and incentive structures for the sales organization are unnecessarily convoluted. This complexity frequently leads to errors in commission payouts, causing widespread frustration among sellers. Notably, these calculation mistakes are consistently detrimental to the employee and rarely seem to resolve in the seller's favor. Siloed "HQ-Centric" Culture: There is a heavy disconnect between corporate headquarters and regional teams. The culture feels highly insular, creating an "in-group" dynamic where those outside of headquarters have very limited visibility, influence, or opportunities for career progression.
