Cloud Network - Cloud Network Engineer bei Check Point Software Technologies: Mitarbeiterbewertung

The core responsibilities offer solid experience, and many team members are dedicated, talented, and great to work with.

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.

Relaxed, nice people, stable (for now)

Outdated Management! The leadership structure is slow and resistant to modern change. Management assumes an "always been done this way" mindset, leading to unnecessary roadblocks and missed opportunities for innovation. The focus is on maintaining the status quo rather than adapting to the market. Sales Engineering team here in the us is completely stagnant, they run this team like they always have for 20 years now, & when they say "we need to modernize & change" - mgmt fires or demotes the good talent we have, but never addresses the real problem, the same people have been our "Heads of Engineering" for 15+ years & still think you need 20 years of experience to "be at their level" - what a joke. There is a persistent culture of old managers who seem to derive authority solely from seniority, rather than current expertise or forward thinking vision. Compensation is well below industry average & we are losing good talent every day. IMO the company is on it's way out, will probably be sold or acquired somehow in the next couple of years. This one won't survive the AI boom. I'm still working here, but actively looking for a way out.
