Pros

Good email security products without direction

Cons

Last 3 years there were lot change where expert people has left company and now engineering is full of favouritism and politics by management people. Specially directors are doing favouritism towards their same location people in Canada, UK and US in terms of promotion and assigning work. Management and architect doesn't like if someone ask question or suggest another solution (they destroy your career in performance cycle). Director & manager hear close and favourite people only rather than people actually work and delivering solutions.

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
