Pros

I recently joined Mimecast from another security vendor and I’ve been very happy with what I walked into. They were transparent about the things that worked and the things that didn’t (no surprises). My own leader is very supportive and it is encouraging to see how much the team gets along and to be a part of the transformation of Enterprise selling in the company. I’m highly appreciative that as they are growing in Enterprise they are very much interested in hearing and using what has worked in our own experiences since it’s easy to get buried as an individual in a larger org. Good group of people across the board and I’m encouraged by the support I’m getting.

Cons

Mimecast has challenges, but every company has them particular in this climate. So far the sales leadership calls it like it is and takes field feedback seriously. Like everyone else the virtual wear and tear (too many Zooms) is a grind which is less about Mimecast and more about where we all are. Would like to get out and see customers in person soon.

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.
