I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Miro (Austin, TX) in Jul 2021
Interview
In terms of the the interview itself, the conversation felt intense and abrasive throughout.
I don’t think she had looked at my resume much, because she was addressing me as if I had no prior sales experience, even though I definitely do, and have been a successful rep with my current company for more than a year and a half now.
She began to tell me that my sales process answers weren’t what she was looking for, and tutor me on what she was looking for.
Ironically, I have helped my current company sign up hundreds of happy customers over the last year and a half resulting in $500k - $1M in monthly revenue.
I’ve been engaging in more respectful and enjoyable conversation with other companies, so Im going to continue those conversations instead.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
They’re not proceeding remote. They will require a mandatory 3 days per week in the Austin office. She said Miro believes this will foster more competition between their reps if they’re all in one place.
Doesn’t sound fun ☕️
Four step process, including mock call. Fairly straightforward process. They are looking for people who are genuinely interested in sales and building a long term sales career. They also are looking for strong disco call skills
I applied online. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at Miro in Dec 2021
Interview
30 minute phone screener with recruiter, 30 minute call with hiring manager, 30 minute mock discovery call, 1 hour panel with manager and current SDR, then a final 30 minute executive interview with a VP.
It's an extensive process but I appreciate that I got to talk with people in different positions.
Overall it was a positive experience interviewing with Miro, but I passed on the offer as it was low for the market-rate and Miro plans on switching to a hybrid work model which just isn't necessary.

How is Miro different from competitors
I applied online. I interviewed at Miro (Austin, TX) in Sep 2021
Interview
I only made it through three rounds of interviews. The first two rounds were incredibly curt and went through more than one last minute time change (I had an interview scheduled for 5:30 and the recruiter texted me at 5:31 asking if we could reschedule). The company is expanding very quickly, and they hold a lot of their SDRs in high-regard, which is incredible and not something I want to diminish. But at the same time, it can make the interviewer feel less important, and adds more stress to an already difficult experience. When I was able to speak with someone about the role, they seemed mostly apathetic towards my interest and experience, and more interested in explaining that I would need to ask a lot of questions- while at the same time they are so quick to get off the phone with you that you don't really have time to pick their brains without going over time (my second interview was 30 minutes, and they spent so much time talking that we didn't get to an opportunity to go over questions until 28 minutes in, and they made a point of reminding me that we only had 2 minutes left).

Question 1
Standard questions like: where do you see your career going? What are you looking for in your next role? What kind of experience do you have in SaaS sales? What kind of experience do you have in sales in general? How good are you at time management?
