Pros

Free Bagels, can drink alcohol on the job. staff supportive and not to mention mostly white environment.. Words to the wise, any time someone who has no experiance and no degree in IT can get a job L2 or 3 just for being a respected employee and little work, something is wrong with that scenerio. Or better yet, anytime someone who closes 35 minimum calls per week for 6 months for 15.00 dollars per hour and after the 6 months as lapsed you have to take a test and fail and stays at 15.00 just for 2 dollars more. Then on top of that you cant take the test again for another 6 months, something is terribly wrong. Barracuda is a chinese sweat shop for overworked IT techs

Cons

No training, Management threatens the employees. No training, Horrible at every level. Low pay. Will terminate you for not meeting call quotas. 3 levels of support which level 1 handles all three. No call screening and will write you up if you can handle the calls with angry customers. L2 always fearful that you will give out company information to the customer. Then will call you a idiot for not knowing about proprietary information about the company.

Worst company in 25 years

Pros

Seriously, there are none. This company, once great about 3-4 years ago has been totally run into the ground by middle and upper management. If you see positives written about this company, there is no doubt it is being written by the management team. In my 20 years in this industry, I have never seen company run so badly. I cannot believe major changes have not been made at the top. Are the board of directors that blind? Unbelievable!

Cons

Upper management are the best spin masters in the world. They will lie right to your face and say or do the opposite the next day. When you read all the negative reviews about Barracuda, they are not employees that are just hammering back. This is real folks. This is why the company is up for a fire sale. Oh, and they will lie about that and say that is not the case and things are fine. One of my colleagues is in finance. So let me tell you, this company is in real trouble and if you are still here when they are acquired, you will get nothing. trust me...nothing. Get out now before they throw you in the street. The micro managing was the worst ever experienced in my career.
