I applied online. I interviewed at Barracuda Networks (Zoomvliet) in May 2026
Interview
The interviewers were professional and the conversations were pleasant. I completed the HR screening and a hiring manager interview, where I was asked to present my portfolio and discuss my experience in detail.
My main frustration was the length of the process and the communication timeline. After the interview, I was advised to wait approximately two weeks for an update. The process was subsequently delayed, and after waiting several weeks I was informed that the company had decided to move forward with other candidates.
While I understand that companies need to evaluate multiple applicants, the process required a significant time commitment, including interview preparation and portfolio presentation, with limited feedback provided at the end. As a candidate, I felt the overall experience could have been managed more efficiently with clearer timelines and more detailed feedback.
Advice to Management:
Provide more transparent timelines and candidate feedback, especially for applicants who progress to the later stages of the process.

After a referral and four really great interviews, the department decided to go with an internal candidate!
WHY waste my time??? Why have any candidate go through such a laborious process only to not hire them?
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Barracuda Networks in Dec 2025
Interview
The interview process was fairly straightforward, with three rounds. One challenge I encountered was a lack of transparency around salary, so I’d recommend clarifying the base compensation early in the process. The offer didn’t align with my expectations, and there was limited flexibility for negotiation, which made it difficult to move forward.
Overall, it could be a suitable opportunity as a stepping stone, though in my view, experience may not be fully reflected in the compensation.
