Barracuda has been named a 2026 Comparably Best Places to Work winner for both employee happiness and work-life balance, based on anonymous employee feedback collected over the past year.

Awards are always nice. But awards based on employee feedback mean even more. That’s why we’re proud to share that Barracuda has earned two 2026 Comparably Best Places to Work awards: Best Company Happiest Employees and Best Company Work-Life Balance.

The recognition reflects the workplace culture our teams help build every day: one where people feel supported, trusted, and able to do meaningful work.

Why Barracuda was recognized by Comparably

These awards reflect the values that guide us every day: Think Customer, Drive Innovation, Take Ownership, Deliver Outcomes, and Succeed Together. Across teams, regions, and roles, Barracuda employees work together to solve customer challenges, support one another, and make a meaningful impact.

The Best Company Work-Life Balance honor is also a reminder that employee happiness and work-life balance go hand in hand. Great work happens when people have the flexibility, trust, and support they need to do their jobs well without burning out.

For Barracuda, work-life balance is not just a policy or program. It is part of how we want employees to experience work: with room to grow, space to recharge, and the support to bring their best to customers, colleagues, and their lives outside of work.

What employees say about Barracuda’s culture

That sense of connection comes through clearly in employee reviews on Comparably.

• "My overall experience here has been overwhelmingly positive. I've worked here for years, and I've seen ups and downs, but we've always come out stronger in the end. I've had many offers to work for another company, but I've never felt the need to leave. I am happy to be here!"
• "I can quite confidently say Barracuda is the company I have felt most at home with: the people, the culture, the work ethic... 10/10. I've only been here 5 months; I still see myself here in 5 years."
• "The culture is very open and supportive, and the people are what make it so special. The team genuinely cares about each other, which makes it a positive and collaborative place to work every day."

We are grateful to everyone who shared feedback with Comparably and to every member of our global team who helps make Barracuda a place where people are happy to work, proud to belong, and inspired to succeed together.

This latest recognition builds on Barracuda’s earlier Comparably honors, including the 2026 Comparably Award for Best Career Growth and the 2025 Comparably Award for Best Company Culture.
