Review from Sales Dept · Posted 12 days ago

What's going wrong and how can it be improved?

I am not aligned with my manager mentoring and managerial style

Review from HR Dept · Posted 11 days ago

Higher levels of leadership have lost the plot. The expertise and data that contradicts what upper levels "feel" should be done is simply ignored to the extreme detriment of morale.

Review from Engineering Dept · Posted 12 days ago

please focus on improving products and right candidate

Review from Sales Dept · Posted 12 days ago

Non-sales departments (such as support, I.T., and facilities) are afterthoughts at best. We are understaffed and grossly underpaid. While it's true that our departments are a cost and do not generate revenue, consider how many customers you can retain without us.

Review from Customer Support Dept · Posted 12 days ago

Management appears to focus primarily on numbers rather than employee's wellbeing. Employees are given the same targets despite having different responsibilities and workloads. Some policies feel unnecessary.

Review from Customer Support Dept · Posted 13 days ago

I do not feel valued at all. Based on my conversations, very few do. There's little accountability across departments. Processes change, no one is informed and it's not documented. Hard to get anything done. The company can't get out of it's own way and align business priorities and process.

Review from Engineering Dept · Posted 13 days ago

We have a history of releasing MVP products/features and then never going back to complete the work leaving us falling behind the competition and customers notice.

Review from Sales Dept · Posted 14 days ago

We cant keep anyone like we use to, the changes havent resulted in better output

Review from Sales Dept · Posted 15 days ago

Excitement is starting to come back. I think as we hit deadlines, drive innovation with products and support our customers excitement will come back fully

Review from Sales Dept · Posted 15 days ago

There are a lot of projects on the go and everything seems to be a priority. It is hard to keep up.

Review from Marketing Dept · Posted 15 days ago

It is just a job, if I had a choice not to work, I would not work!

Review from Customer Support Dept

Performance is judged mainly on metrics, overlooking effort and external factors. Expectations are high, resources are inefficiently allocated, and at times it feels like different rules apply to different people and comparisons are made across unequal levels.

Review from Customer Support Dept

There is a lot of confusion that our customer's are experiencing when it comes to the updated interface of the Barracuda One. The stress of the financial situation makes it seem like working here will never yield a way out of renting;

Review from Customer Support Dept

I get anxiety created by the toxic work culture. In the past I was excited about connecting to work and collaborating with my colleagues. Barracuda's company culture is going in the wrong direction.

Review from IT Dept

We are doing too much without priority alignment across teams and business units. There is no accountability on Business Systems or IT teams.

Review from Engineering Dept

It's blindingly obvious how KKR is influencing the behavior of the company. Line needs to go up, so we're focusing on next quarter instead of actually trying to lay groundwork to exist in the next decade.

Review from Customer Support Dept

Treating employees like children is not good for morale.

Review from Sales Dept

the company strategy is not clear and knowing that every 6 months they cut people does not help

Review from Sales Dept

More listening from leaders on what can be improved, rather than all direction coming from the top down

Review from Engineering Dept

We dont make enough money for the revenue we rollover for Barracuda. For every $1 we renew, we dont get half a penny on. $1.5 million dollar quota for the quarter, a rep might see a commission totaling $4k for 3 months. Half a penny would even be $7,500 in commission so its not even that

Review from Sales Dept

What do you like best about your company?

People are friendly and helpful.

Review from Operations Dept

What would you most like to see improved at your company?

Salaries need to be improved drastically, hybrid working needs to be adopted as part of the new way of working. Barracuda are not competitive in these areas and are losing good people because of these reasons.
