Pros

Fantastic, hard-working people (for the most part) Excellent product portfolio and an EXCO team that is supportive of new initiatives Great health insurance packages and family benefits. Volunteer and donation match ability to support community involvement. Flexible working environments (for some)

Cons

Some of the legacy leadership team are scared of change and not embracing what it will take to bring Mimecast into the lean enterprise. Culture is hip but caters to the younger crowd (28 and under).

Too much ego and poor software engineering quality standards

Frontend developer

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

- Development teams are kinda "agile", and there's a will to improve on that side. - Flexible times, good work-life conciliation.

Cons

- The ego of some managers affect on how technical decisions are done, in several times were completely wrong. It's more about a matter of who puts the name on something and get the "recognition" rather than making correct decisions supported by the engineers, specially in UI teams. - Quality is not a main concern on some teams, technical debt is a mysterious term for a lot of front-end developers. - Slow reaction to solve team issues, ending in some cases on good developers going away from the company.
