Pros

great opportunities, fun office, great perks

Cons

The role felt very isolating, as most of the team is based in the U.S., which made collaboration challenging. Unfortunately, my experience with manager significantly impacted my enjoyment of the job. Expectations that were discussed during the interview process were not upheld, and the lack of support or clear guidance made it difficult to succeed. Work-life balance was also poor — I frequently worked late and often felt stressed and overwhelmed. Although the work itself was interesting, the negative environment overshadowed the positives. When I resigned, I immediately felt a sense of relief

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

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
