Alternating extremes of fun and frustration. - Anonymous employee Barracuda Networks Employee Review

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.

Pros

Work/Life Balance, Flexibility of schedule and a strong team feel amongst the SA Team.

Cons

Product functionality, vision of leadership team, stale solution set and very difficult to meet quota since you're covering 15+ AE's. You spend a lot of time trying to "save" customers vs. actively selling.
