Pros

-Great pay/benefits -The executives and management are fully available and invested in their employee's success -Work hard/play hard motto (and feels like a (more mature) start up -Very upwardly mobile company -They rarely hire from the outside and like to grow their own talent (this is less true than it was 3/4 years ago) -Free lunch -Fun and fast paced

Cons

-They are growing their operations team and some of the internal workings can move slow at times -Since they never hired from the outside, they are now having to invest in a more formalized training program

Pros

Excellent People, excellent management. Excellent work place in general. Management really wants to keep their employees happy and turnover low. Everyone right up to the CEO wants to make sure you are not only content but truly happy to come into work.

Cons

Maybe start stocking Dr. Pepper in the drink fridge? I really can't think of anything but there is a twenty word minimum.

Pros

Mimecast is a great place to work because of the people. Management cares about employees well-being and professional growth and support this belief with training and opportunities to advance when ready. The office is fun, lively and can be seen as work hard play hard. I am happy to work for such a great company with an awesome product.

Cons

The benefits are the area that I think are lacking, the medical and dental coverage is great but PTO and flex time could be improved as well as implementing some other perks. With this being said I have seen a noticeable change in management implementing new programs to address these issues as we now have free lunch a couple times a week and free breakfast!
