Miro is a promising company, they are cautious about who they are hiring, which I think is good. I went through four stages of the interview and got rejected. I still like the company but I felt a bit frustrated with their interview process. I want to share my experience here, the suggestions for both interviewees and Miro.
Advice for candidates:
1. Be prepared for a lengthy interview process. As I mentioned, they are careful about the talents, so it takes time to make decisions and move on each round.
2. For designers, be prepared for a big case study about Miro's current problems, which will happen in the interview's early stage.
3. Remember to follow-up with the recruiter. The interview process was a bit confusing. They asked me about my available times, I answered and received no response. I needed to follow-up a couple of times to schedule the meeting.
Suggestion for Miro:
1. I would suggest you not using the current Miro's problem as the case study. This is unethical to ask all candidates to spend time on this. The case study can be a fictional problem or past problems, focusing on design thinking and problem-solving skills.
2. A proper training for all interviewers. The team interview I had was awkward, it seems that they didn't really know what to ask and were disengaged in the conversation.
3. Continue to be transparent. I received a call from HR about all the feedback. I really appreciate that!
