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

- 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
