Start here, then leave quickly. All it currently is, is a foothold to get into the field. Clearly there is no care being put into the company at the moment, and it's likely due to the value extraction from KKR. They try to chase buzzwords, and end up both delivering new junk as well as ruining old.

The framework and tooling for an exceptional company is here, but behavior from higher ups and the direction of what we're doing means the future is uncertain. Making quick-fixes to cut corners instead of laying a good foundation is spiraling behavior.

Pay and communication of what the direction is.

Realize their stated goals are in direct opposition to the incentives.

We went from Great Value insurance to Dollar Tree. This isn't a good look.

My coworkers need support. The chain is set up to prevent bypassing, so gatekeeping occurs.

Inspire confidence through quality products, investing in the company, and demonstrating the company and the employees have a future.

Getting raises at the moment is effectively impossible at the moment, given no one on this team has received raises in several years.

As a communication company, actually communicate effectively. Cut out the "hail corporate" waffle, and get to the point. Make it so raises aren't unobtanium.

It's impossible to get the support needed. Some are completely unresponsive and allowed to exist on another planet with blessing from their managers, while others act as gatekeepers unnecessarily.

Quite frankly it's paying almost20% below where is reasonable given the current economic climate. It's especially bad when the already bad health insurance gets replaced for an even worse one.

Our products were fantastic, but features and new products have been rolled out before getting effective testing or usage. Dogfooding clearly isn't done here, or the very obvious issues wouldn't be problems.

It's obvious Barracuda is on the back foot, and the lack of resources available to improve our products is obvious. We're basically chasing buzzwords, letting features regress, and hoping we can actually deliver what we're promising.

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.

It's blindingly obvious it's crunch time at the circle factory. From the vanishing benefits to the lack of pay raises over the last two years to products that get worse over time with no documentation, Barracuda feels like a dead company running.
