Pros

Company grew really fast last year.

Cons

As a previous reviewer mentioned, company is super (80%+) white and very Russian (significant plurality) which makes life difficult if you're a minority of any kind. Would steer clear if you are a minority or enjoy a diverse culture where many perspectives are welcomed. Also, very stingy with equity and not sure how much upside is left.

Miro Response

We are saddened to see any current or former employee with such a negative perception of our company. We suggest anyone reading this explore other reviews, and reach out to any current employees. Additionally, the data in the above review is inaccurate. Miro employees are 40% in the EU, 33% in RU, and 28% in US. As a truly global company with hubs all over the world, Mironeers hold passports from more than 60 countries. We seek and welcome talent from all cultures and identities. We have thriving ERG communities, and we are continually focused on building an even more diverse Miro. Based on our recent data, we are in line with much larger companies in terms of demography in the US and in terms of gender across our global hubs. Additionally, we place a strong emphasis on cross-cultural ways of working. We have regular “Real Talk” sessions, where our team learns about each other’s cultural and individual identities. Our goal is to truly “practice empathy to gain insight” and use this awareness to become better and more inclusive collaborators. Please reach out to any of us to hear what life at Miro is like-- it’s a great time to join: for our mission and our team.. and we offer equity for all employees!

Pros

I just started at Miro this week and I have had a very good experience. All the people whom I have met from the interview process through other employees in the onboarding process have been genuinely curious and helpful. The company culture really shines through the employees and that's something to appreciate, especially considering I have yet to go into the office. The benefits are great and the deductions are very reasonable. The company invests a lot into their employees. They have fun Slack channels and provide many tools and resources to help employees be more efficient at work. Miro is an AI first company that's way ahead of the AI revolution when compared to my previous employer. Hybrid working schedule with free food at the office and a gym.

Cons

The pre-onboarding process was quite long. My first interview was back in October of last year and my first day was in February. Self relocation only, although worth it in my opinion.
