Review from HR Dept
Friendly, communicative and transparent, very down to earth people.
Review from Admin Dept
The leadership team at Barracuda has been nothing but supportive since I started my role 5 months ago. They have been clear about our goals and have handled any issues that have come up. I feel leadership has my back.
Review from Business Development Dept
Clear strategy on how to succeed no flailing
Review from Engineering Dept
Autonomy provided and they are always there to support you.
Review from HR Dept
What does the leadership team need to get better at?
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 Engineering Dept
This survey was touted as anonymous. As

Review from Sales Dept
In light of the ongoing inflation, my salary is not sufficient to maintain a healthy work-life balance.
Review from IT Dept
Higher comp, better benefits, specifically 401K and health insurance
Review from Product Dept
My salary has not kept pace with inflation, and from talking with friends I make half as much as some. My managers always seem to call the raise budget low. Even as I save the company money I see none of it. I feel that calling us owners is patronizing because we don't have the power an owner would.
Review from Engineering Dept
There have been multiple times, where I have been offered way more, the benefits are just slightly out-weighing. However the edge is near.

Review from Customer Support Dept
Better product leadership. We've been listless for years.

They dont pay attention. They dont follow through. They dont listen. Their work is mid at best and broken on average. We are the Walmart of security.
Review from Design Dept
What is most positive about the culture and environment at your company?
The work culture is the best! We get a great balance with work and personal life

Great attendance at the office which definitely encourages energy, forward momentum and proper communication about projects. Very sociable, and 'in person' conversations are hugely valuable.

Everyone has a positive attitude about our work.

Excellent management support and urgency when necessary but not just so the manager looks aggressive.

Review from IT Dept
Management treats the team like children

Review from Engineering Dept
See people and teams grow and to know that the work i do has meaningful impact on people and business.
Review from HR Dept
What's going wrong and how can it be improved?
I do not feel valued and heard
Review from Product Dept
I am not aligned with my manager mentoring and managerial style
Review from HR Dept
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
please focus on improving products and right candidate
Review from Sales Dept
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
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.
