Pros

Competitive product, sensible acquisitions, nice office and decent culture.

Cons

Big round of layoffs in 2025 due to a strategic misalignment. Growth led to over hiring, acquisitions led to bloated headcount. Large chunk of my "high preforming" team was let go despite hitting targets.

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
