Pros

There are no pros, which is very sad to say about a SAAS tech company

Cons

Where to begin? Management needs to get their heads out of the clouds. The foundation of the company is burning, yet they still keep adding to the mess with new strategies, new initiatives. Its changing every day, and they shove it in the faces of the employees to deal with. I was terribly burnt out and more kept coming. it wasn't just for me... the whole company seems to be feeling this energy. (overworked, underpaid, and just fed-up) Don't get me started on HR and their "new" and "exciting" performance management. They've made the whole process unbearable and even if you are high performing, and hit all the metrics. forget about getting a raise. what a joke! Do yourself a favor.. if you respect yourself. withdraw your application to Mimecast. it's not worth your risking your mental health.

As an organization, we are continuously looking for new ways to drive fairness and transparency for our Mimecasters. Our new performance management system takes into account both goals and expected behaviors, aligned with our values, to ensure each employee is able to have robust conversations with their managers. We believe this will allow us to scale our culture with our growth and reward strong performance.

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.
