Pros

- plenty of young coworkers to get to know, form friendships etc - knowledge base for self learning - good doorway to get into cyber security - ESPP (not the best but its a way to save a buck or two) - other small pluses you should get in any self respecting company

Cons

the reality behind some of the lies that CP tells of being number whatever as best workplace in the world /Israel: - low salary, working 4 years I got plenty of promises for a raise and bonuses but nothing changed. - money that is part of your bruto salary: 650nis monthly for the road, 750nis for food(as shown in 10bis, whilst in reality you get something like 25nis per working day). the food choice is terrible, the prices per meal is usually 60nis + and minimum is often 80 or 100. at this rate the money for food is good for a week tops. They tell you "you can earn more by overworking, thats what everyone does" but once you start overworking you're questioned for every hour and HR several times issued a request to not overwork beyond a certain amount of hours. - kitchen is mediocre at best, fit to make tea/coffee, a toast with nothing but cheese or a 2/3 vegetable salad. that is -all- that is available (except from the soda drinks and sauces). - holiday gifts are trash in comparison to other companies and no option to just take cash so you're stuck with useless items trying to sell them and make a buck. - management's reward for anything good you do is "thank you" which gets tiresome after 3 years and always have above the moon expectations, probably forgot what it's like to do the grunt work.. most likely due to the amnesia that hit them after they were promoted from the same technical engineer job to manager in the first place. - gym fits 10 people max. any more and its a tuna can unfit for working out. - company activities that no one ever needed or goes too. - They don't really care whether you leave or not, support rotation happens every 2-3 years, 90% of the people i started with are gone so its not a place to grow as many say, more of a place to work a few years to get experience and move somewhere better.

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.
