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.

Pros

- Work is challenging and interesting with lots of room for creativity and professional growth. - Benefits are quite good, including frequent bbqs on site and fun company outings/events almost monthly! - Environment is open and fun, encouraging camaraderie and collaboration. - Great products spanning a wide range of network security applications. - International team with good communication channels. - Top management is accessible. - Great people to work with - smart, fun, talented. - Good location. - Your job is - to a certain extent -what you make it. I like that!

Cons

- High turnover - which is disappointing. We lose lots of good people who feel under compensated. - Low pay scale means we may be missing out on lots of talent. - Top management could step back a bit from daily, low-level issues.

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.
