Pros

Great brand recognition, good people lower in the org trying to keep things afloat, bathrooms are clean (trying to think of positives...)

Cons

Poor pay., high turnover. Functions are hopelessly fragmented leading to lack of direction, infighting, duplicate work, and general chaos. No one seems to really know what is going on or who is responsible for what.

Pros

Barracuda has some great people working for the company, but unfortunately they are all leaving. There's a lot of freedom for a sales role, however that could be part of the reason the company is where it is at the moment.

Cons

Barracuda got fat and happy with its cash cow products, and instead of continuing to invest in them, the company expanded its portfolio by trying to break into markets where the only way to break in is by coming in at rock bottom pricing. During that time, its cash cow products fell behind from a technology perspective and is now trying to play catch up. With the company stock plummeting 65% in the last few months, there has been job consolidation and purse strings tightened to try and get by. The overwhelming consensus is Barracuda is positioning itself to get bought out. The company pays considerably less than the industry standard, however that was previously offset by a strong company culture. Now that the morale is at an all-time low, there's not much left to desire.
