Barracuda Networks reviews

At Barracuda management has a superiority complex, promotions are based on personal interactions and brown-nosing not on merit, management makes technical decisions despite no technical knowledge and ignores those that do, lacks innovation overall as a company and a majority of the coworkers and management have big chips on the shoulders, and they also are way below market pay unless you're management in that case you are overpaid.

Thoma Bravo acquisition. They came in and bought Barracuda when things were on the up and up. Stock was rebounding and around $25 per share at the time. Now that Barracuda is a private company all TB cares about (rightfully so) is making a return on their investment. This means things are getting cut left and right, staff included. It will be an interesting next 3-5 years indeed. I got out at a good time. If you are a seasoned sales rep you might want to look elsewhere as you might not get the desired salary you are seeking . If you are a recent grad or need to gain experience in IT sales this is a good place to start, but keep in mind that things will be very tight until TB decides to sell Barracuda and/or they decide to go public again. Proceed with caution. In the years I was there I saw many of the great minds jump ship. It's gotten even worse since the TB acquisition. Even some of the executives are rumored to be leaving. Expect constant turnover for the next few years as it no longer is a company they want to see employees stick around with a high salary. Too many competitors now. You are even up against Microsoft. Many of the features are apples to apples, but normally comes down to price and support (which was excellent at the time I typed this).
