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

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
