Process

Small panel interview, way easy... The questions were expected, canned and very easy to answer. It seemed they were short handed and just looking to bring cattle on-board.

The offer came quick after it was approved by Israel, but they told me that Israel accepts all candidates, it was more or less a rubber stamp formality.

Questions

Tell be about the OSI model! Awesome, you're hired!

Where careers go to start or to die - pick your poison.

Engineer • Current Employee

Pros: A free, medium-grade lunch (keep it under $8.00, you stubborn fella!!!) and really nice co-workers. You do learn a lot when you have access to brilliant minds and internal information. The massages are nice.

Cons: Metrics. If you are measured on your 24 hour closure rate for tickets and every customer says "keep the case open for a couple of days so we can monitor," well, there goes your 24 hour closure rate. Metrics are not used as a means to monitor customer activity and satisfaction, or to reward a good employee for a job well done Metrics are used as a tool to deny bonuses and raises and promotions. You are always treated like a juvenile, always needing supervision and grooming. I personally have a problem with the alcohol. We have a beer keg in the office and many have mini fridges under their desks with more. I understand that sometimes work, especially at Check Point, can get to you, but this can't be OSHA compliant. Maybe one day when someone gets killed leaving work there will be a policy change.

Pros: Free lunch, good management. You can get hired straight from college and move up the ranks relatively fast.

Cons: Management seems to not be able to do what they need to grow the company or their employees. You will often see employees given marginal raises because one employee was given a proper raise there was no more room in the budget.
