I love working at Barracuda because I get to do what I love with people who are, more or less, also excited to be here. I find some teams challenging to work with and the lack of coherent process and roadmap alignment creates issues with speed and quality.
Briefly describe your overall experience at your company
Overall, I really love my job because I love my field, work, and people I am making software for. Even though right now I am having a hard time trusting my coworkers and especially leadership, I have hope that it can turn around if the leadership had the same growth mindset they tell us to have.

My manager and a few of my high performing co-workers that I can count on.

The pay and 401K are pretty good. I wish the health benefits were better, I can't find a therapist that is covered.
What is most positive about the culture and environment at your company?
I feel like I am making an impact on people who are underserved by stellar software. I am continually learning and growing.
What's going wrong and how can it be improved?
I want to make excellent software. Not mediocre, not good enough. Excellent. It feels like I am the only one sometimes that feels that way.
What do your coworkers need to improve and how could you work together better?
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.
What does the leadership team need to get better at?
The vision and things they talk about working towards don't line up with what we are actually doing. No process. No vision. No understanding of current software development or what the actual roles are responsible for.
What does the leadership team need to get better at?
I'd really like to see more transparency from the executive team. There's been a ton of org changes and attrition at the leadership level and the c-suite doesn't even address it except in an email to say it happened. They say "succeed together" but don't align roadmaps across orgs.
What does the leadership team need to get better at?
Leadership needs to get better at leadership. Take AI dev days as an example. It was mass chaos, everyone was confused about the goal and the document did not match the messages middle management was conveying. No accountability either. It is easy for middle management to look busy, no results.
