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The technology is outdated and processes within engineering are laughable.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

The people (some) Struggling to find more

Cons

Mimecast used to be a great place to work with good tech and strong values. The culture is toxic and incredibly unhealthy. They will promote you without an increase in pay. Recognition is a joke. The CEO is actively running the company into the ground. Sales leadership repeatedly meddles into and destroys sales opportunities and turns around to blame the sales team. The product is a mess with no strategy. only thing that's clear is the direction in which it is going, down.
