Not worth it unless you need experience

Pros

* Interesting problems * Some very talented coworkers * Seems like they are trying to fix some of the issues, but totally missing the mark * Remnants of the older, more laidback culture still exist

Cons

I worked here for a couple years, and saw almost all of the most talented developers leave. * Low pay * Abusive management creates toxic culture * Features are prioritized above bug fixes to an reasonable extent. The result is half-working products that don't sell (Barracuda's core business) * Deadlines doomed from the start, the result of which is employees working overtime, without compensation, or suffer management abuse * Popularity contest * No clear company direction * Lots of reorganization going on currently

Pros

Barracuda has the best team I've ever worked in! Really smart people work here to develop excellent products. Work in the R&D dept. covers a wide area of technologies, which gives the opportunity to work on some interesting stuff. Hard work will be honored. Offers interesting development opportunities . The culture is pretty laidback. Flex hours are a definite benefit. Company offers some nice benefits, e.g. sponsored lunch, free fruits, yogurt and coffee, free membership to to nearby gym, etc.

Cons

Company produces too many products and has lost focus. Sometimes lack of prioritization. The code base is quite large and things tend to move more slowly.
