Pros

The only good thing at Checkpoint is work-life balance. People sleep on their chairs while working and they will never get fired. Work from home, office once a week. And a nice mark on a CV, that's all the benefits of it

Cons

Terrible management, the only thing Check point cares is how to bring as much money to CEO, while completely forgetting about their employees. Salary is twice below market price, still corporation is stressing you to reach your targets. Managers and team leaders with absolute zero management and soft skills. In general, because people are so underpaid, you will face only incredibly stupid and lazy employees, all good, smart, talented people leave Check Point after one year. No raises, no benefits. Absolute cheap in every sense of the word. Fun days with a budget less than a kids play party, that makes you feel like nobody. While being hired to Check point, company sells itself that you will make a great career, they prefer to promote employees. No, you will sit year's in your position without a raise and promotion, and eventually you will just quit. Company makes you take mandatory hofesh days in August, so you will accumulate less days off and they have to pay you less once you quit.

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.
