Pros

Flexible schedule (if you get into right team). Ability to work from home on Wednesdays which most employees take as unofficial day off.

Cons

Low salaries, terrible management. Most managers were promoted from developers and have poor to none social/management skills. Outdated or home-grown technologies (bad for your future CV). Poor communication between teams. Work in engineering is extremely boring.

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.
