Pros

Free lunch Relaxed wfh ability ( depending on who you work for) People are fairly nice, if only on the surface.

Cons

So much legacy bloat, people think just because they've been at mimecast a really long time they're experts on the world. No career growth. No help in changing roles. Tons of promotions of people who are not competent but were pushed up due to cronyism. Company is super focused on meeting feel good metrics like diversity hires, which CAN be a good thing but not when we're hiring people who truly don't have the talent we need. Mimecast touts all the perks like coffee, bagels, snacks and even a pool table. It's all very eye catching for a millennial but when you're a bit older and you're not being paid competitively or given fair raises by a company that is so profitable, these "perks" ring hollow.

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.
