Pros

Nice amenities, free lunch 4 days a week

Cons

The company’s gone downhill over the past year or two. Management is young and have no idea what they’re doing. There’s no guidance whatsoever and they expect you to create your own career path with no promise of helping you get there. On top of that, there’s no career structure (unless you’re in the BDR or sales teams). HR has been talking about creating a ladder for almost a year and we have yet to see anything in the works. Promotions happen by chance and not by performance, which only makes sense when there’s no way to even measure how well employees are doing. To make things worse, compensation is way below the market rate in the greater Boston area. And above all, you’re either the person who does the work or the person who gets to present it. So don’t be fooled by the nice amenities, the grass is indeed greener on the other side.

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.
