Pros

Good compensation package and equipment provided.

Cons

Not authentic company but rather ticking the boxes of a checklist of what a “cool” company should do. Working culture is not fun. Time is spent mostly planning. However, things are then implemented quickly without following good engineering practices. Very hierarchical and bureaucratic. Managers are bossing around. It is a lot about showing off and bragging about any small thing you delivered rather than actually being good at your work. You won’t be able to work on the stuff you enjoy, but it will be chosen for you. Quarterly OKRs is just something ridiculous which usually consumes 2-3 weeks of pointless admin work. The tools used internally are chosen poorly. Tech stack is old. The laptop is barely running most likely due to all the spyware installed and bad VPN. The positive reviews are most likely written by the people who have never worked in an actually good company and are blinded by the Miro swag and gifts they receive. All the negative reviews are on point.

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.
