What does the leadership team need to get better at?

Leadership Reviews

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 · Posted 11 days ago

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 · Posted 12 days ago

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 Sales Dept · Posted 10 days ago

Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?

Compensation Reviews

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 · Posted 9 days ago

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 Sales Dept · Posted 9 days ago

There should be bonuses for work performed, especially without public stock options. A flat base salary and raise isn't as effective to drive behaviors as a bonus is.

Review from Sales Dept · Posted 11 days ago

I don't feel undervalued from a salary perspective but from a recognition and sponsorship perspective. I've consistently contribute beyond my role through leadership, alignment, and execution. Stronger advocacy for my long-term growth and impact would help.

Review from Sales Dept · Posted 9 days ago

We have a constructive, collaborative and respectful culture with shared goals aligned with company and customer interests. I am aware of essentially zero office politics. We put blame on processes, not people, if things go wrong.

Review from Sales Dept · Posted 13 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 13 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 Operations Dept

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

Outlook Reviews

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.
