Pros

Good balance between work and home life. Superb office facilities, but with the ability to WFH. Startup vibe, but with grown up processes.

Cons

There is sometimes a need to release functionality in a timescale that does not facilitate the company to be fully prepared. This results in support cases, leading to pressure to better support smaller teams at the coal face. The lack of a recognized release board is at the heart of the problem. It's a classic case of a company growing to a size where it needs processes, but isn't quite there yet.

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

- It is very hard to list any pro for this organization in the current state - When I joined the company the culture was very good, the financials were very stable.

Cons

- The competition is eating Mimecast. They just cannot stay steady with AI taking a lead in protecting the emails - They acquired few companies to add the AI skill set to their product profile but it didn't pan out as per the expectation - The customers down sells is so much that it might lead to a major instability in a very short future - For the past 3 years, the company must have laid off around 400 employees. - If you are a high earner in the company then you are high on the list of being laid off
