Pros

Benefits and maybe some office perks

Cons

The product is outdated and far behind the market. Competitors like Proofpoint, Abnormal, and CrowdStrike have out-innovated and outpaced the company. Leadership has no idea how to scale or compete. Acquisitions of weak companies have backfired, dragging performance down. Revenue is shrinking, customers are leaving, and financial targets are consistently missed. Salaries are below market and bonuses are unreliable. The culture is toxic politics and tenure matter more than talent. External hires don’t last. The recent silent layoffs show the company’s real direction. Brace yourself. This is only going downhill.

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.

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.
