Pros

decent room to grow within the company if you really push yourself. Most of the emplyees that work there are easy to get along with.

Cons

going corporate without any of the benefits of being corporate. Barracuda keeps adding more guidelines as they should as they are becoming more corporate but does not add the industry standard pay scale to fit this new environment. C level execs like to run the day to day operations without having any clue about how the business should be run. This is the reason why you hire competent mid-level managers and let them do their thing. And the barracuda environment promotes that good old boy atmosphere, the one where as long as you been there for a while and get in good with those who have been there from the beginning you can pretty much check out espn 24x7 and come to work the hours you feel fit your lifestyle.

Pros

When I worked there (although I hear it's changed now to a degree), the atmosphere was incredibly laid back. There was very little, if any, pressure to work overtime, which is rare for a IT position. It was easy, if not encouraged to talk to senior management when it was warranted, and there was a strong spirit of camaraderie among employees.

Cons

Senior management was often inconsistent about goals, and the budget was never there for me to be able to do my job right. Senior level positions salary capped out noticeably lower than what I'm making now as a mid-level engineer. Beyond that, there was a not insignificant amount of favoritism in play. In a number of situations my manager was overruled by a subordinate simply because management preferred the subordinate. The frustration of having the best solution consistently overruled by incredibly conspicuous political decisions was what eventually led me to leave.
