Started with an HR call that explained Miro's culture, the role, and the interview process. There is a total of 5 interviews including the initial HR round. With each step you pass, you get an email with a new Miro interview board explaining the next interview process and how to prepare for the next round. I felt the Miro board is a nice touch to showcase the product as well giving a detailed interview process. After the initial HR round was the problem-solving round, where you get DS algorithm-based questions. The interviewers were very friendly and I was able to solve the question within the time. Next is the system-design round, where they ask you to design the system based on one of the use cases. They will judge how you lead the design and will challenge your decisions. They see if you can find functional as well as non-functional requirements and bottlenecks when scaling for more users and how to tackle them. After the system-design round, there are 2 more non-technical rounds which are STAR-based interviews (team fit and senior-manager round), where they see how you have tackled conflicts in the past, a customer-centric mindset. Overall, the experience was very positive for me as the interview process seems relatively fair, practical, and not overly long or complicated. And the interviewers were friendly and open to candidate's solutions
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
NDA. The difficulty of the problem-solving round was medium leet code level.
Slow but transparent. At each stage, it was clear what to expect. Hard process but worth it if you want to this type of company. Be prepared with the classic study material (cracking coding interview, STAR, etc.)
I applied online. I interviewed at Miro (Amsterdam)
Interview
Standard hiring pipeline. Algorithmic question, system design and then project deep dive.
The people I met during the interview were really intelligent and insightful, the recruitment team was subpar.
I would definitely reinterview but am wary of their recruitment team. After having twice experienced poor communication from them.
I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Miro (Amsterdam) in Oct 2023
Interview
Overall the whole procedure is very clear and the recruiter is supportive. Every interview had a good setup and I was feeling comfortable.
In the end I recieved a notice, that I will get an offer and was informed what that offer is going to be. The only con here is that the process took 1.5 month.
But this is where everything went wrong.
Recruiter disappeared for 2 weeks and then called with bad news, that the role is put down and they hire for it no more. They said, that there is another 2 roles in 2 other teams and I will have one more interview with the team. I thought it's going to be just a formal interview, but the teams said I don't pass technically, which is ridiculous, because I already passed 2 other technical interviews.
Recruiter told me, that I'm going to be a priority as soon as other roles are going to appear. But so far more than 10 roles appear and noone reached me. I tried to apply again and also wrote to recruiter twice and nothing happened. So basically this is a complete chaos of a company and if you don't want to waste your time like this, just avoid it.

Question 1
System design interview is the most important. So be prepared
