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.
