Check Point Software Technologies primarily serves businesses and public-sector organisations that need to secure users, devices, and networks across on-prem and hybrid environments.

Locations and presence

Check Point Software Technologies is headquartered in Tel Aviv, with a large Americas presence and additional teams across Europe and other regions. Check Point Software Technologies describes flexibility in working from home, in the office, or a mix, with a stated hybrid work model (implementation still varies by role and site).

Palpable Score

75.7

/ 100

Check Point Software Technologies offers multiple genuine entry points for students and graduates, including internships, an 18-month rotational associates program, and an R&D student track that explicitly references conversion to full-time roles. The main scoring drag is process transparency: applicants can find general guidance, but not a consistently published set of interview stages, assessments, and timelines by role and region.

Pillar 1: Early-career access

Score

16.8

/ 20

The company advertises a Check Point Global Associates Program that runs for 18 months and includes up to three rotations across functions like Sales, Sales Engineering, Marketing, Sales Operations, and Customer Success.
Check Point Software publishes internship pathways alongside student-specific tracks, rather than treating students as generic applicants competing only for experienced roles.
The company describes an R&D student program in Israel and explicitly says many students transition into full-time roles after graduation in the same R&D teams.

Pillar 2: Hiring fairness and transparency

Score

13.3

/ 20

The company’s careers FAQ tells candidates to expect a recruiter-led process and states applicants should receive a status update within a week of an interview (via the recruiter).
Check Point Software’s careers FAQ says applications are reviewed by recruiters and that candidates who are not selected for one role may be considered for other openings later, which at least sets expectations on screening.
The company’s candidate interview reports commonly describe multi-stage pipelines (HR screen plus technical assessment and follow-ups), but the company does not publish a standard stage-by-stage process map that early-career candidates can rely on across roles.

Pillar 3: Learning and support

Score

17.8

/ 20

The company describes a structured onboarding and training path for new hires and says new employees get a supportive mentor for the first few months in role.
Check Point Software states the company offers more than 600 courses per year and provides training in multiple formats (online, instructor-led, conferences) to fit different needs.
The company describes the Check Point Security Academy as a four-month program with professional and practical training and personal mentoring by senior researchers, with graduates joining cyber research and development groups afterward.

Pillar 4: Pay fairness and stability

Score

14.8

/ 20

The company says the company measures and publicly publishes an equal pay report, and cites a 2021 Israel audit across 3,000 employees showing an average pay gap of 0.02% between women and men.
Check Point Software has some role-level pay transparency in public listings (for example, a US Inside Sales Representative posting that shows a salary range), but this is not consistent across markets and roles.
The company reports a global employee stock purchase plan with at least a 15% discount, alongside global health insurance coverage described in the company’s people/ESG materials, which improves overall compensation value beyond base pay.

Pillar 5: Early-career outcomes

Score

13.0

/ 20

The company links early-career entry to a concrete outcome by stating many R&D student hires in Israel move into full-time roles after graduation within the same teams.
Check Point Software describes mechanisms that support progression, including a twice-yearly performance review cycle and an internal portal where employees can explore and apply for internal roles.
The company does not publish retention rates, early-career promotion velocity, or internship conversion statistics, and external employee commentary includes mentions of layoffs, which makes long-run outcomes harder to validate from public data.
