Pros

great office space and work space

Cons

toxic culture filled with inexperienced leaders that have grown up the ladder based off old friendships. No progression for women in sales and in leadership. Mimecast is a walking HR nightmare. The lowest paying sales structure I. have seen in the security space. Overall a scary place to be for women looking got grow up the ladder and wanting eqaulity.

Thank you for sharing your feedback. We are on a journey with diversity, equity & inclusion (DEI) at Mimecast and have taken steps to accelerate our efforts in this space. We have recently formalized a new DEI strategy with defined goals and accountability measures that will be implemented in the coming months. This includes measures to increase workforce diversity including women in leadership. Additionally, we continue to build out additional engagement opportunities through our active employee resource groups (ERGs), including our Women @ Mimecast Group. We believe this will help facilitate positive change as we continue to promote an inclusive culture across Mimecast.

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.
