Pros

Genuinely none. Free coffee / fruit? decent office, honestly hard to come up with actual pros.

Cons

Very poor management, expected to do 1st line support forever regardless of expertise however it is more akin to a glorified call centre, no progression whatsoever which is actively deterred by management who warn other teams to not approach staff, no goals to work towards, no incentive for good work. Treated like children, more like being at school. Worst team morale ever experienced, universally unhappy UK support team with the same issues. Rude manager with no people skills. Turn around of staff high, new starters leaving or looking to leave within months of starting after realising they were lied to in interview. This may sound like a bitter review from a disgruntled employee however please rest assured this is the gods honest truth and just a warning for any future employees for the UK support team, do yourself a favor and do not accept, you will regret it.

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 biggest pros of working at Mimecast are the people and the strong camaraderie. There’s a flexible work-from-home policy, a solid executive leadership team, and the company trips and events are always a lot of fun. The pay is generally average to slightly below average compared with similar companies.

Cons

For cons, there has been a lot of downsell and customer churn, and the company is still digging itself out of a hole caused by a lack of innovation over the past few years. Pay is also below average compared with similar companies.
