Great place to start

Pros

Want to learn and work with awesome people? This is the place for you. Great place to jump start a career, but plan to look elsewhere if you want to be rewarded for your effort and hard work.

Cons

Career paths are strung out and not well laid out. Like most places, its who you know not what you know. Benefits are sub-par. Barracuda is still behind the times when it comes to remote/tel-commuting.

Pros

Good people. Some smart, others not-so-smart. I heard recently the daily lunch got cut down from 5 days a week to 3 days a week. Strike THAT pro off the list. Is another sign of where this company is headed needed? Used to be a fun party culture, but those days are long gone. Take a job here ONLY if you're desperate, get your tech experience, and GET OUT!

Cons

Terrible products. Boys club management. No raises. No perks whatsoever, unless you believe a gameroom/bar is a perk, but we all knew it was created to keep us at work longer. Do yourself a favor if you're a bartender, construction worker, just out of school, recently paroled from jail, or anybody else looking for a job: exhaust EVERY other resource you have before you take a job here.

Pros

Great place for first timers entering technology and if you like a frat house scene. If you like meeting new people this place is great because the turnover is ridiculously high. If you are a person motivated by alcohol and have questionable morals again a good place to work. Kudos to Barracuda for taking folks off the street and offering them a technology type career.

Cons

Unfortunately cons out weigh the pros. And there is not enough characters allotted to provide all of them. Like most of the cons notes in other reviews pay is biggest and saddest of them all. They just choose to opt out of competitive pay. Allowing tenured and successful reps, engineers and PMs to leave while keeping and promoting the unqualified and inexperienced. They have atonement type moments where they try to makeup the low pay with a contest but it usually has an unattainable goal. Inconsistent pay is also a standard here. Amazing how the pay structure has changed along with restructuring of sales roles. New hire training is awful and you just feel bad for new reps. Seeing them trying to drink from a fire hose for a good 30-60 days. Too much is expected with knowing 14-16 products. "It's not my job"mentality is common amongst all departments. Makes an individual's job really hard as they can't past tasks or get help. And if you do find someone to help expect it to be half a$$ed. Negativity and complaining run at all time highs here in majority of departments. Amazing that work actually gets done. No accountability with managers makes it hard to respect some them not alone be managed by them. Expectation that we all want to live, eat and sleep Barracuda. The minimal pay doesn't dare equate for one to submit themselves whole to Barracuda.
