Pros

The only remotely good thing about this company is the free spinach wraps for lunch.

Cons

The management operates on intimidation instead of incentive. Most importantly the training provided at Barracuda Networks is terrible. They give you a binder that is supposed to teach you how to operate their products and interact with customers. Unfortunately, the person writing it apparently did not put much effort into it. The formal training occupies about 2 weeks and all the final tests after training are long answer written format. Thus the person grading can be as subjective as needed when it comes time to promote. This company will set you up for failure. I was there one week and resigned because of threats from the training/hiring manager after struggling to pass their policies and procedures test. I can only assume how crappy of a company it would be to work for if they are already threating a trainee over simple policies and procedures after only one week.

Pros

Lots of opportunity to move up and between teams once you demonstrate capability. Great group of people to work with- young, energetic office culture. Company is just off IPO, so there will be many changes (read: opportunity) in the next couple years.

Cons

Pay is less than industry standard (somewhat due to the opportunity the company gives to people with no industry experience, however, once established, the pay is not competitive to retain top talent, engineering or otherwise- something that has recently been addressed by new CEO= promising)

Pros

Tons of opportunity for folks to start their career or break into a particular field with less experience, but translatable skills. And a huge focus on promoting within. Upper management and execs are highly visible and approachable. I see a lot of feedback here on salary, but my take is, we all signed an offer letter and know our salary going in. If you work hard, salary increases and bonuses are given.

Cons

Could improve on cross-departmental communication.
