Pros

Flexible work arrangement (2 days in office) & supportive colleagues, many of whom have since moved on

Cons

The company culture has changed noticeably over time, particularly following shifts in global senior leadership and operating style. Communication and transparency could be improved, and at times the environment can feel more pressure-driven and blaming rather than collaborative. There is also a perception that alignment is sometimes valued more than constructive feedback, even though healthy debate can ultimately benefit customers and the company. There have been multiple rounds of layoffs, and a number of experienced colleagues have left the organisation. In some cases, employees felt there was limited visibility into how decisions were made, which has affected morale. Some teams feel less confident about the long-term direction of the organization.

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
