Review from Operations Dept · Posted 4 days ago

SF and manual tracking is immense. Daily KPI are unrealistic. Hours spent weekly on trainings, executive meetings, account planning, following design in vs lead out in SF and manual tracking of day-to-day activities make very little time left over to actually do the day-to-day activities.

Review from Sales Dept

Leadership needs to get better at turning strategic intent into operational clarity. For engineering specifically, stronger product direction, earlier UX alignment decisions about what matters most so all can move quickly without constantly dealing with ambiguity downstream.

Review from Engineering Dept

Leadership, particularly in PM, need to be held accountable for the outcomes of their decisions. A name needs to be attached to each change in direction and each expansion decision and metrics set by which to measure the success of that decision and the person driving it held fully accountable.

Review from Operations Dept · Posted 4 days ago

With family needs and expenses of benefits, I cannot simply fix vehicles or home or health needs in this day and age of expenses nowadays. I have no huge costs except insurance on family/cars and a low mortgage (1000sqfoot home), then a used car payment. I feel life is worse this year. stressed.

Review from Customer Support Dept · Posted 4 days ago

more money would make me feel better

Review from Engineering Dept · Posted 4 days ago

I believe compensation could be more consistent across comparable roles within the organisation. Greater transparency around salary ranges, progression and how responsibilities are reflected in pay would help create a stronger sense of fairness and value.

Review from Sales Dept · Posted 4 days ago

Compensation should be as per the market rate and experience. Company equities should be given free of cost and not for the discounted price as it's uncertain on how the investment we have made now would grow or fall in next years as the company is not listed. Bonus amount should be given.

My leadership wants me to succeed and recognizes my workload. Due to the culture of work/life balance, they update priorities and get the organization working on the right things at the right time. Building innovative products keeps me engaged and my team motivated.

People being real people (mostly). Of course there's always one person that goes out of their way to look good because their self esteem is too low but overall, most people are great to work with because they are real people.

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

The daily workload is currently very heavy, we are expected to pick up extra tasks and cover for others. At the same time getting support from seniors and managements is difficult and those concerns when raised are unaddressed, then it gets out of control.

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.
