Pros
Safe Job, Stable Job, Good family balance, It's like working for the government. Good Benefits. Good vacation and time off policy.
Cons
For a 2000+ employee company it seriously acts like it is in start-up mode. Autocratic management. Employees and project managers are kept in the dark of their own products. Management treats their employees as untrusted employees at all times. Salary scales tend to be lower. Raises never. The companies greatest fear is paying out to much money to their own employees. The compensation plan is designed to be vague, unverifiable, and unachievable. There is a strong paranoia inset into the company mentality, that impedes this company from going to the next level. Introduction of new and enhanced products tend to be to little to late. Check Point does NOT sell direct. This is a Reseller only company. However, all actions taken by the field makes it surely look like direct sales. This company does not believe in marketing itself .... or spend money to promote itself.
