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

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
