Pros

The work .environment, Human Resource team, Benefits, Location, Access to local sporting events, concerts, Use of Cuda cars, Internal messaging system, Relax dress code, Laid back atmosphere, Discounted food and drinks in the break room, Free merchandise.

Cons

Unlike most companies I don't think Barracuda Networks has "Cons". However they have some tough decisions to make and the outcome of those decisions could become either cons or pros. I would suggest Improving parking, retaining existing employees and manage grow without compromising what cause Barracuda Networks to succeed in the first place.

Pros

Medical coverage options are diverse. Professional conduct is reciprocated between staff and management. Hard work is recognized and rewarded daily within my department. Recent emphasis by management on working with other departments to close sales has greatly improved the communication and support between departments. The gradual migration from start-up 'fraternity' behavior in the office to stricter corporate conduct has created much more consistent guidelines and expectations of and by employees. Gone are the days of keg-tapping and drinking in the office during business hours-except for the occasional celebration. When people know what is expected of them it gives them the opportunity to perform to standard and exceed those expectations. Recently, recognition of such performance has really been kicked into overdrive. I hope people are seeing opportunities to grow instead of feeling discontented.

Cons

The price of medical coverage just went through the roof-may not necessarily be directly related to the company. The general discontent sometimes heard around the office is salary. Living in Silicon Valley is expensive. The sentiment heard is that Barracuda can and should pay their employees like the enterprise company they're growing to be.

Pros

Highly driven, intelligent, fair and rational upper management team. Friendly and helpful colleagues. Fantastic rewards for loyal and top performers. The HR team is always coming up with fun activities/events for the whole company to participate in. Company picnics, concerts, sporting events, comedy nights, happy hour, rafting and skiing trips...just to name a few. Great brand to put on your resume; very well respected around the world. Overall, Barracuda Networks has an amazing community of people and culture.

Cons

The health benefits are okay, but it's clear that the HR team is always striving to come up with different ways to make adjustments in favor of employees. Salaries are a bit low in comparison to other Silicon Valley companies. But the experience is invaluable. IT issues sometimes take too long to resolve.
