Barracuda Networks reviews

I have been with Barracuda Networks for almost three years. There are good things about working here and there are bad things about working here and I wanted to be honest about both. Before I go into the good and bad aspects, I wanted to tell you a bit about my experience at Barracuda Networks. My background was not in networking but I did have a little experience with Linux. I had been out of work for nine months, and I was going crazy since for the first time in 11 years I was unemployed, and applied with Barracuda Networks for another position. While I bombed on the interview for the position I applied for, the hiring manager for the Technical Support department decided to give me a chance as a support representative. The great thing about working for the Technical Support department is that there is a defined career path and if you work hard, you can advance quickly. To put it into perspective, I was promoted from Tier 1A to Tier 1B after 2 months, and 10 months later I was salaried. Not bad for someone who walked into the job with virtually no networking experience; I did have a very steep learning curve but I worked hard. The opportunities to advance are available to those who do their job. Now for my pros and cons list (so you know what you are getting into): - The Technical Support department has a great new hire training program!!! - The team pods are usually very friendly and most people become good friends - The work is challenging and no day is the same - The defined career path is outlined very well and allows for promotion opportunities - The company is stable and the jobs are not going away any time soon - Great catered lunch and dinner

Fun to work at, good people, free food
