Pros

Great place for first timers entering technology and if you like a frat house scene. If you like meeting new people this place is great because the turnover is ridiculously high. If you are a person motivated by alcohol and have questionable morals again a good place to work. Kudos to Barracuda for taking folks off the street and offering them a technology type career.

Cons

Unfortunately cons out weigh the pros. And there is not enough characters allotted to provide all of them. Like most of the cons notes in other reviews pay is biggest and saddest of them all. They just choose to opt out of competitive pay. Allowing tenured and successful reps, engineers and PMs to leave while keeping and promoting the unqualified and inexperienced. They have atonement type moments where they try to makeup the low pay with a contest but it usually has an unattainable goal. Inconsistent pay is also a standard here. Amazing how the pay structure has changed along with restructuring of sales roles. New hire training is awful and you just feel bad for new reps. Seeing them trying to drink from a fire hose for a good 30-60 days. Too much is expected with knowing 14-16 products. "It's not my job"mentality is common amongst all departments. Makes an individual's job really hard as they can't past tasks or get help. And if you do find someone to help expect it to be half a$$ed. Negativity and complaining run at all time highs here in majority of departments. Amazing that work actually gets done. No accountability with managers makes it hard to respect some them not alone be managed by them. Expectation that we all want to live, eat and sleep Barracuda. The minimal pay doesn't dare equate for one to submit themselves whole to Barracuda.

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.
