Pros

Professional people to work with lots of room for creativity and professional growth. It's a very well known company internationally with great products spanning a wide range of network security applications. Management are easily accessible.

Cons

The Medical benefit are not enough to cover you and all your family members.

Pros

1. Impressed by the clear strategy for keeping up with the changes in the industry. 2. The near obsessive focus on customer support and service. This manifests itself in many ways - including listening to customers' feedback about product features, processes and new product ideas. 3. Creatively exhibited and demanded in solving business problems - resulting a "can do" attitude. 4. A culture that promotes (and demands) open communication. There are very few companies where the CEO of the company regularly meets employees from support, engineering and manufacturing to discuss THEIR issues. 5. Decisions are delegated to the right level. I have never heard the argument, "we are doing this because I said so, and I am the boss". This means you get to make your own decisions (commensurate with your experience and position, of course) and also that you are responsible for your decisions.

Cons

Barracuda Networks has many employees, in many countries. A more proactive program of communicating what the company is doing (on a quarterly basis) will be appreciated by many employees.

Pros

I joined Barracuda as part of an acquisition. I had some natural concern we'd loose control of the product and the energy we had as a young start up company. In reality though, we joined a team of extremely talented and energetic people who have assisted in growing our product into something greater then we were able to accomplish on our own. Barracuda has a lot of passion to make great products.

Cons

Given Barracuda is fairly young compared to some other companies in the industry, some would find downside in the lack of structure we have at Barracuda.
