Pros

Salary was ok but not high enough for putting up with the terrible culture through the entire company.

Cons

Do not work here! Terrible team work, terrible decisions with little to no logic. Communication among small teams doesn't exist. Every project is a rush and no time to actually design or develop the products. I feel sorry for the customers because Checkpoint doesn't actually design anything new, they just put what they have, from the past 10 years and put it a new form factor.

Pros

Support (Engineers, IT, customer service) really work to help facilitate sales. "Family" environment with long-term employees. Leading-edge products and solutions.

Cons

With reduction in workfoce (20%) most experience customer service and IT people were either laid-off or left in late 2011. This leaves a mixed group of very competent, experienced managers and workers mixed with low-cost new hires who can't support sales. Mfg. plants try but you can only produce so much with minimal workers. Production always behind so majority of time spent explaining late deliveries. Lack of communication from upper management leaves clients feeling neglected. MBO's convuluted, not achievable and commissions cut without notice negating achievements. Lower pay with a 30% increase in sales???

Pros

The company itself (as far as the product we make/sell) is absolutley phenominal. Fully believe this is the best security product on the market.

Cons

No raises, if you want advancement they base it off your current salary (which is low to begin with). They offer you a 15% MBO bonus, which in my time here, I have never received the full percent. I have worked numerous times through midnight, weekends, etc to only see more work come my way. Multiple persons are doing multiple jobs and are not happy. Employee moral is very low.
