Pros

The biggest pros of working at Mimecast are the people and the strong camaraderie. There’s a flexible work-from-home policy, a solid executive leadership team, and the company trips and events are always a lot of fun. The pay is generally average to slightly below average compared with similar companies.

Cons

For cons, there has been a lot of downsell and customer churn, and the company is still digging itself out of a hole caused by a lack of innovation over the past few years. Pay is also below average compared with similar companies.
