Avantages
Check Point is definitely a place where you can spend time with family or focus on your free time. Excellent "work/life balance" to use the parlance of our time. This is the number one reason, people I knew, cited as the reason for staying. You also get a lot of autonomy, so you can structure your work-day very much as you see fit.
Inconvénients
Everything goes through/comes from Israel. They have this enormous "not invented here" mentality. Even business cards and some office products actually came from Israel, like they don't have blue colored folders in the US? Management in the US has zero power to decide anything of importance. Much of the company is run like it's the Israeli Defense Force with all kinds of pointless secrets, no communication, and zero customer focus. I've never seen so many unhappy customers before in my life, and we have PG&E as our utility here in the Bay Area. Finally, there's no marketing or advertising to speak of. Your average customers knows only of the "firewall thing."
