      An extremely mean company

      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.

      One of the worst places I've ever worked

      Pros

      There are actually very few pros to list for this company as far as I'm concerned... the location was decent (a fairly short commute for me), the atmosphere was pretty laid back (at least in some groups). I think most of the actual workers got along well. Their new location was far better to work at than their prev one (their orig location had to be seen to be believed).

      Cons

      Wow... this was truly one of the worst places I have ever worked! The paychecks were sometimes late, the pay rate was about 33% off my usual rate, but I had to get a job (anywhere) at the time. The benefits were ridiculous... stingy coverage for the employee, but only after a waiting period- and your family wasn't even automatically covered (at least when I was there). Occasionally the CEO would stop by our group and verbally chastise other group employees in front of our entire group... not very professional for a CEO who really should know better. And certainly not a very good example for other execs or group managers.

      Pros

      Barracuda is a good stepping stone.

      Cons

      Management competence (as far as leadership and job performance) is questionable.
