Pros

- Great product - Good base salary - No overtimes - Home office bonus during covid - Compensation of public transport - Free lunch and sometime breakfast in the office.

Cons

- Micromanagement from all levels of engineering leadership - Top-Down technical decisions from CTO to feature teams - High level of bureaucracy, as in large enterprise companies - Bad tooling, which makes day-to-day engineering job incredibly difficult - Bad engineering culture which is hard to change because of constant pressure about deadlines - Hybrid-office strategy: 2-3 mandatory days in the office instead of a full remote - Non-competitive total compensation.

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.
