Pros

Engineers/ICs, especially those from Mimecast of yesteryears Nice office at an easy location (if you have car) Fair amount of wfh (although hybrid) Decent food and amenities

Cons

Recent crop of leadership (except maybe the product lead who is pretty good) most of whom were brought in as personal contacts of an ex-CTPO (how much narcissistic one has to be to have held both the CTO and CPO title!). Some crop of leadership who were brought in via acqui-hire even though their startup has a struggling tech (the ex-CTPO easily got swayed by quick and smooth talking techies) Really bleak future (go to cybersecurity subreddit and ask/search for comparison between Mimecast and its competitors like Abnormal etc)

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.
