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

Barracuda has made a tremendous impact on the industry in a short time and keeps growing. The growth creates a changing environment with lots to do and plenty of opportunity. Those who embrace that kind of culture will find the most success here. While Barracuda is getting bigger, individuals can still improve things. The management structure is flat so getting your thoughts heard and considered is not hard. I agree with some other reviews in that this is a great place to quickly pick up valuable technical experience at all levels.

Cons

It might not be for everyone. People looking for a bigger corporate environment with lots of structure may get frustrated here. Barracuda is just not your typical technology company.
