Pros

Subsidized lunches. Benefits are relatively ok. You will find great colleagues, who will share your frustration. Nice walking paths around the office.

Cons

No matter if you are a director or entry level – you WILL be yelled at, humiliated, and undermined at one point during the first 3 months. Everything you think you know, everything you thought was expected from you, all your skills and expertise – they all mean nothing at check point. All decisions and ways of action are determined by 2-3 executives – the CEO and his deputies. If you dare to suggest a solution, if you, god forbid, express an idea – you will be scorned, most likely in front of your peers and even your subordinates. You might think I am just one disappointed incident that decided to trash the company online. The fact is, everyone at Check Point wants out. If you make the mistake of taking the job, you’ll come back to this review and beat yourself for not taking these words in to serious consideration.

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.
