Pros

Mimecast is quite proactive in a lot of the right areas - from looking after its employees wellbeing to keeping them informed about what's going on in the company. The people are great overall - pleasant, professional and dedicated. It's also just a bonus to work for a company that is doing well in terms of reaching its goals.

Cons

The company is in that slightly awkward 'teenager' state, where much like a human teenager, the growth spurt is causing some pain. It's well-established and highly successful but still growing very rapidly and finding its adult groove is causing the usual growing pains - finding the right balance between process and red tape and maintaining a young, agile feel.

Pros

Great office, catered lunch daily. Great benefits, 4 weeks PTO to start plus paid holidays, floating holidays, sick time. Culture is flexible, vibrants, friendly people.

Cons

Frequent changed and pivoting but senior leadership listens to employees which is good.

Pros

The people (some) Struggling to find more

Cons

Mimecast used to be a great place to work with good tech and strong values. The culture is toxic and incredibly unhealthy. They will promote you without an increase in pay. Recognition is a joke. The CEO is actively running the company into the ground. Sales leadership repeatedly meddles into and destroys sales opportunities and turns around to blame the sales team. The product is a mess with no strategy. only thing that's clear is the direction in which it is going, down.
