Pros

Used to be a great company. Good people. Nice offices.

Cons

Unequal pay, terrible pay rise percentages, lack of flexibility, mandated hybrid working (where has the grown up approach gone?), feel like you're a naughty school kid if you miss an office day, horrible environment to work in now. Poor benefits in particular for Women - very low maternity leave allowance with paternity leave apparently due to be increased which is great for the men of the company who make up the majority. No flexibility offered for mums returning to workforce. Lack of diversity (see above - how are you going to balance this out when you single out females to penalize?). Lots of buzzwords thrown around but ultimately the Company has lost its sense of caring for employees, which is a real shame.

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.
