Pros

Free lunch M-Thurs, nice office space, some WFH flexibility, and some good people in the trenches.

Cons

As others have mentioned ad nauseam, you're either a yes man or not. No room for growth or creative autonomy - you're either aboard their rocket ship or not. Promotions given to toxic personalities, and it's sad to see that many of these toxic personalities are in upper management. Siloed teams that lead to fear and lack of trust. Poor communication. Morale was very low when I left.

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.
