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The product is outdated and far behind the market.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.

Cons

Frequent changed and pivoting but senior leadership listens to employees which is good.

Pros

None - Mimecast leadership seems intent of stripping away all pros it once had

Cons

Treats AI like a people-replacement, not a tool Chaotic yearly layoffs Whole scale company direction changes every 6 months ELT revolving door, likely leading to the above points Constantly buying new technology - no longer an innovator or leader in the cybersecurity space
