Pros

sadly, the pros have dried up over the years. formerly, there used to be a great culture of learning, innovation, and respect for the work. some may still see this but it largely dependent on if you manager is burned out or not.

Cons

horrible C-level hiring over the years leading to fractured strategy and lack of execution. "do more with less" being the only corporate objective that carried over year over year. C-levels bring in friends from former companies who walk over the folks who helped grow the company from start-up. Spend 6 months on a project only for a senior leader from another department to squash it with no feedback or replacement strategy. Basic challenges grow worse over time due to red-tape and an unwillingness to spend or shift resources. Pay is low and performance reviews are a joke, used simply to either see you out of the business or say you "met expectations" and therefore receive a raise lower than inflation. Managers perform the reviews and C-levels have carte blanche to change them as they see fit (often times without ever knowing the employee the review was about).

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.
