Pros

There are a lot of nice individuals at Mimecast, but they rarely work well together in teams. The CEO is a genuinely nice guy if you ever meet him. This can't be said of the other C level leaders.

Cons

The technology is outdated and processes within engineering are laughable. This leads to many incidents and outages. All the talented people are leaving by choice or have been forced to leave in a Twitter style purge orchestrated by the CTPO. All of the replacements are people the from the CTPO's two previous companies. The culture in engineering is toxic. Since the current CTPO joined morale has plummeted. Engineers have an attitude of "I suffered so you have to too" and if problems are identified the long standing staff refuse to change anything as "that is how it always has been". Engineering will be going into the office twice a week from January, more people will leave.

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

- 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
