Thank you for providing this review and we value your feedback and insight to help us improve as an organization. We strive to maintain our unique culture and streamline our reporting structures and this is a work in progress. However, with the current office closures we have changed our views on work from home flexibility and now have created a revamped policy for work from home flexibility to include a remote employee benefits/standards. We have also revamped our performance review and career development process which will enable our employees to have visibility into their career paths at Mimecast. We do appreciate the time spent on writing this review and providing honest feedback to assist us with these changes to make us a best in class workplace.

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

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.
