Barracuda Networks reviews

Its a point of pride with the managers they pay 15% below valley average. There is no feedback other than the yearly review which they nit pick anything you may have done wrong and do not allow you to explain yourself. If you get any feedback outside the annual review it means they are mad at you. The management all depends on your team. On my team the managers are basically useless. They issue tasks then disappear except to show up and throw more work on you or to complain. Even engineering is a rotating door. They just cannot keep people Despite what they say there are NO stock options until you have been there several years. There is no opportunity to move up. The company is run by the selected few who have been there a long time. Get on the bad side of any of them and your days are numbered. Its always a dance making sure you are in their good graces. Some of these people have very poor outlook on Indian Engineers. As people are constantly leaving we are constantly understaffed and desperate any time we have a new firmware push. Managers do not listen to the Quality Assurance Engineers or Developers saying the product is broken or even how long it will take to get stuff fixed. They have cameras in the office. One of the upper management loves to sit there and watch people in Michigan then call up managers and complain about people that aren't working. They use man in the middle attacks to stop encrypted info in case you are trying to use encrypted forms of chat

This company may seem like a very good place to work but I promise you it is not as it seems. The company middle and senior management is very unprofessional, they conduct business that doesn't relate to their mission statement and values. The management does not know how to work with the employees nor how to actually get work done, when anyone has to resign, they make your last few days unbearable. All three office managers are of the same nature, hidden agendas everywhere. The HR team is absolute trash, they try to make it look like they are communicating with you, but generally don't care what you say. There isn't much room to move up in the company and if there is, there are politics in your way. Compared to other companies, they pay their employees thousands less than other similar companies. I do not recommend anyone to work here, let alone apply for positions at the company.
