Barracuda Networks reviews

totally different story between HQ and Ann Arbor office. pay attention to the review, most of the good reviews are for Ann Arbor office, which is true. HQ office in Campbell CA is horrible, and here is why: 1. There is no management, the manager will just give you all the tasks and ask you to finish that. then after a few days your manager will just pop up and ask you if you have finished your tasks. No guidance and no leadership from the manager at all. 2. To save money, they will assign you enough work to keep you busy from 7am - 8pm, and will not hire one more person. management team thinks its normal. plus, there is no payment for your extra hours work. 3. people in this company will just "disappeared" you won't know if they were fired or choose to leave. And there is no explanation from anyone. 4. very poor benefits, 10-12 days vacation + NO 401K matches (as of 2013,I don't know if they have it now since they went public lately) 5. People works hard and creates value in this company does not get recognized, people knows how to complain does

The symptoms are there when you walk in : About 40% of employees will be have less than 2 years of experience. For an organization that has been around for > 10 years , it should raise a question why do a significant number of employees quit after some time. Then there is the 'groupism' during lunch time. Plus the fact that it is an open secret that the india center is considered as the worst in all the offices in Barracuda . I can go on but this should be sufficient for anyone who has a choice in jobs to skip Barracuda or at least keep in mind that he will be back hunting for a job after some time
