Ask for a referral to Check Point Software

A referral only means something if the person giving it can actually speak to your work. I will refer you where I know someone on the inside and your profile genuinely fits the role, and I will tell you plainly when I cannot. Either way you get an answer, and a straight one.

  • I read every request. A reply takes a few days, sometimes longer.
  • I will not refer someone for a role their profile does not fit. It wastes your time and costs me the contact.
  • Where I cannot refer you, I will say why, and point you at the way in that does work.
  • Nothing you send here is shared with anyone without you agreeing to it first.

If you found the opening, paste it. It tells me which team you mean.

A Drive, Dropbox or personal-site link is fine. Make sure it opens without a request for access, or I cannot read it.

At least a short paragraph. This is what I would be putting my name behind, so specifics beat adjectives.

Comma separated, up to six. Things you would be happy to be tested on.

How they hire

Check Point does not publish the number or format of its interview rounds, and nothing specific to software engineering. Ask your recruiter what the process for your role involves.

  1. 1

    Application review

    Official
    Application screen

    Recruiters review every application and contact the strongest matches. You may also be approached later about other openings.

  2. 2

    Interviews

    Official
    Technical interview

    Check Point evaluates your skills and experience against the needs of the role and asks about your academic and professional background.

  3. 3

    Decision

    Official
    Offer

    Your recruiter explains the timeline, and you should get a status update within a week of an interview.

What comes up

Recurring themes from candidate accounts, not a question bank. Nobody is served by leaked question lists, least of all you in the interview.

  • Academic and professional experience

    Official

    Expect to introduce yourself, your achievements and the value you would bring.

  • Traits Check Point looks for

    Official

    A strong desire to learn, creative thinking, agility and a passion for technology.

Worth reading before you apply

Course
Grokking Algorithm Complexity and Big-O

A short text course on algorithm analysis: all five asymptotic notations, time and space complexity, best, worst and average cases, and three methods for recursive complexity including the master theorem. It suits students and self-taught developers who can write working code but freeze when an interviewer asks for the time and space complexity, or who want to understand why one solution is faster than another.

Course
Grokking Data Structures & Algorithms for Coding Interviews

A foundations course that builds eleven core data structures from the ground up (arrays, matrices, stacks, queues, linked lists, trees and BSTs, hash tables, hash sets, heaps, graphs and tries), then covers sorting, searching, greedy and divide and conquer. Every chapter has practice problems, flashcards and an assessment. It suits students and career switchers whose foundations came from tutorials and who find pattern courses move too fast.

Grokking Tech Salary Negotiations

A practical course on negotiating compensation in tech, from preparing and building a strategy to specific tactics, the full package beyond base salary, handling multiple offers and asking for a raise. It has tailored sections for fresh graduates and experienced engineers. It suits anyone with an offer coming, and anyone who has ever accepted the first number out of discomfort.

Platform
Hack The Box Academy

Hack The Box's structured course platform, built from short modules rather than the open ended machines the main HTB site is known for. Its Tier 0 fundamentals modules are effectively free, and job role paths such as SOC Analyst and Penetration Tester lead into HTB's own practical certifications.

Platform
LetsDefend

A blue team focused training platform built around a simulated Security Operations Centre, where you investigate real looking alerts, phishing emails, and malware samples the way a working SOC analyst would. It is one of the few platforms aimed specifically at defensive rather than offensive skills, with content mapped to MITRE ATT&CK.

What it pays

Nothing collected for this company yet, and nothing worth guessing at. A made-up range is worse than no range because people negotiate against it.

Add to the Check Point Software page

This library is only as good as what people who have been through it are willing to share. Most of these companies have no hiring process documented anywhere, and one account of what the rounds actually were is worth more than anything I can research from the outside.

What are you adding?

This decides how the claim is labelled on the page. Only someone representing the company can produce an “official” label, and I check that separately.

Year and month.

Comma separated topics, not the questions themselves.

Round by round is ideal: what each one was, how long, remote or in person, and what it covered.

Credit

Anonymous is the default. If you keep it anonymous, nothing identifying you reaches the page: it is published as a candidate account and your name stays with me. Never send anything covered by an NDA, and never send a take-home or a question paper.

Universities they recruit from

No sourced university links yet. A campus drive, a career fair appearance or an internship partnership is what puts a university here.

Processes change, rounds get added, tests get replaced. If what you went through was different from what is on this page, tell me and I will update it.

Want me to refer you here?

Send me the role, your CV and a few honest paragraphs on why you fit it. Where I know someone inside and your profile matches, I will make the introduction. Where I cannot, I will tell you why and point you at the route that does work. You get an answer either way.
