Barracuda Networks reviews

The pay is horrible, there are no real perks, it is a cult of personality much like Apple except without the verve and intellectualism and without the cool new building. We work in a penitentiary. Management is like working for Dustin Hoffman in Rain Man. Yeah they seem to make money by gambling and not getting caught but you question whether or not they should be driving motor vehicles some time. We do have plenty of liquor in the office and great equipment to work on except that last part isn't factual. Most competent engineers (and there have been some brilliant ones) are "acquired" from another start-up and then get annoyed and leave. For the most part the talent is marginalized and the bulk are very unskilled at their professions. Very unskilled. Barely script kiddies.

- management collides with support and all of support feels unappreciated - micromanagement without reason - management will spy on what your doing due to lack of trust - management is not professional when criticizing colleagues. - no management structure (ie. VP will walk around doing a manager's job or supervisors job - "pick up the phone.") - pay is way below standards and raises are not given based on progression and work. compensation can start from low 40's to mid 40's but unless complaints are made, there's not much you can do. - no management enforcement to discipline tier 1's - there's a lot of unfair favortism between management and tier 1's
