Pros

"a pre-IPO company" which seems to suggest a promising career path

Cons

Managers only want to keep their position, they are not open to suggestions and do not accept "The Emperor's New Clothes" kind of true words. HR is horrible, after I told her I would jump to another company, she turned out very angry and told me that I was not loyalty to the company. Actually it is so funny to me: if I can get 40% salary increase in another company that doing a different field from what I was doing in barracuda, doesn't it mean I was seriously under-paid since I was join? I am really happy I left this mean company. Not worth to stay at all. They only want to squeeze you as much as possible.

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.
