Pros

Not much of bureaucracy, good office. Technology-wise it is a mixed bag - some new ideas are tried and built on top of the legacy code, which is at times not well engineered. It is a company of one single product. Pay-wise it is OK after IPO.

Cons

Actually there are fair amount of them, I would largely support another reviewer "Don't get hired as a developer". Some of the management are promoted from software engineers and posses no management experience hence no alignment with company values, no visible attempts to create proper teams. It is clique as well. It looks like there is fair amount of "underpaid" legacy (people who failed to leave).

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.
