Pros

Growing company with ambitious products. Recent changes in Product management has seen a lot of positive changes within & in related departments. Directors of Product are picked from larger firms with ample experience and wealth of knowledge. Future looks good for some product lines.

Cons

Lot of bureaucracies and politics at play within UI related Product areas, delaying product delivery and engineers get blamed for the delay. Less or absolutely no innovation around UI. Substandard product managers with no industry experience handling UI applications, making decisions in dictatorial style, frustrating engineers, as a result losing UI engineers. Retention being an ongoing problem because of this.

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

Pros

No pros that you can't get at another company. There are some amazing people left here, but not many - most have been layed off or have jumped ship to avoid said layoffs.

Cons

Mimecast is a company that, unfortunately, no longer cares about their employees after being acquired by Permira a few years ago. Rolling, silent layoffs are near constant, so you never know whether or not you're next on the chopping block this month. Benefits have been on a steady decline for years, pay raises and salary are borderline embarassing (and their main NA office is in one the highest cost of living areas in the state FYI), the culture is one of genuine disdain for their workers, the company can't stop hemorrhaging customers due to their lack of innovation. Leadership is chaotic and constantly changing.
