Pros

Unfortunately I can’t (and neither can my friends that still work there) find many positives right now. The company seems to be imploding to a degree. Working at MIME used to be a transformative experience that would set the tone for your entire career. I’m sure there’s at least one or two places there where that still applies.

Cons

Aside from the Solarwinds fallout, all I hear from anyone that still works there is... it’s not the same. I can’t speak from the technical or support side, but in sales there is very much a command and control culture. That culture is perpetuated by leadership (mostly legacy RSA) and I can say for sure that their mora compasses do NOT point directly north. There’s a reason that everyone from channel to sales to SE’s, etc. have left in the last year. As things get worse, the leadership doesn’t try to galvanize the team and bring everyone together. Their approach is to pull the reins tighter and introduce MORE metrics... more daily stand-up meetings... it’s unfortunate, but that style of leadership is reaping what it’s sown for quite a while.

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.
