Pros

Remote work, learning opportunities, exposure to technology.

Cons

Pay is lowest in the industry. No one can figure out commission. They keep coming up with loopholes to not pay commission, discouraging going above and beyond. There’s no incentive to excel. Extremely bro culture, almost toxic. Men keep manterrupting you if you’re a female. Mostly mediocre men thrive here. The quality of the products are subpar. Very buggy and don’t integrate well. Customers have to open many SR-s due to faulty code. Development and QA needs improving. Despite their bragging about 1500 people working in R&D, it doesn’t reflect in the quality, unless they write the code half asleep. Customers constantly complain about TAC, which is common in this industry, but it is at a whole other level at Check Point.

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.
