based on performance
In my experience, these decisions are usually made to retain valuable employees.

What's one thing you wish you'd known before joining Barracuda Networks?
The inflexibility to work from home, the salaries which are miles behind other companies in the industry.
What's the office layout like at Barracuda Networks?
Open office sales floor, executive offices, open kitchen / lounge area, several meeting rooms.
How are the healthcare options at Barracuda Networks?
These options could be greatly improved. Barracuda in the UK do not offer private healthcare / dental. They offer Vitality, which is a form of private healthcare - and classed as a taxable benefit - which employees need to pay for out of their monthly wage - if they want to take advantage of this.
What's the work from home policy like at Barracuda Networks?
Response from Barracuda Networks
3 years ago
we have a flex work policy which means each division has it's only requirements. Some groups require 0 days in office, others require 5 days. Most teams have 2-3 days in office. My group requires 2 days but my leaders are pretty flexible with it
In the UK this is virtually non-existent. Employees were only allowed to work from home during lockdowns, which means working from home was a MUST, wherever possible. Since these restrictions have been lifted, it is expected that you are in the office 5 days a week. This is a huge frustration for some people who simply want a bit of flexibility and trust from the company. After two years of proving we can be successful from home, why is this such a huge issue?
Does Barracuda Networks have a volunteer program?
Response from Barracuda Networks
3 years ago
Yes, we have a program called Giveback@cuda where twice a year everyone is offered an opportunity to participate in a big project but each office does their own volunteer work too, we do a lot around the holidays especially
No, however I really think they should introduce this. Many companies offer a certain number of "Charity / Volunteer" days per year - I think this is really important to show the company cares.

Everyone prioritizes to get the work done but with so much of the cross functional partnerships being global, there is a lot of flexibility in the day. If I need to go on a personal errand during the afternoon, I feel 100% comfortable doing that.
