Pros

An Incredible office and people

Cons

Forced return to office, inflexible and outdated approach. Feels like being back at school with badge checks. Management shy away from communicating tough decisions or changes in the business. HR are not there to serve employees, they are there for the CEO no doubt. Culture has completely eroded since co-founder left. Used to be an authentic place, now it’s very false unfortunately. No career progression and shockingly low pay rise percentages and bonus results.

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
