Pros

Benefits and maybe some office perks

Cons

The product is outdated and far behind the market. Competitors like Proofpoint, Abnormal, and CrowdStrike have out-innovated and outpaced the company. Leadership has no idea how to scale or compete. Acquisitions of weak companies have backfired, dragging performance down. Revenue is shrinking, customers are leaving, and financial targets are consistently missed. Salaries are below market and bonuses are unreliable. The culture is toxic politics and tenure matter more than talent. External hires don’t last. The recent silent layoffs show the company’s real direction. Brace yourself. This is only going downhill.

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.
