Pluspunten

- Amazing colleagues from most departments - Mixed generational atmosphere - Catered lunches and snacks - Professional and transparent interview experience - Good 401k match - Neat product, for now

Minpunten

- Lack of empathy during the recent round of layoffs. VP laid me off and did not even know my name. He/She read off a script and the HR counterpart had no answers to any of my questions and both seemed annoyed I even had questions. Director who likely helped make the decisions did not even show his/her face in the meeting and only reached out because he/she needed something from me - Underhanded and misleading conversations from managers and directors to gauge your value and commitment to the company - Disorganization in the layoff process made me feel the People team was unprepared for the layoffs which just made the lack of empathy more pronounced. But the CEO had the PR layoff blog post all ready for customers to see - Frivolous spending like the millions spent on the Monster ad and light up wristbands to tell people to come back to a meeting room for a large corporate event - Product no longer has a distinct competitive edge. The product is a one trick pony and Miro has missed years of potential advancement by relying on their PLG motion and now competition is stronger than ever and Miro is scrambling to differentiate - Push and pull among departments due to competing priorities of teams which cause friction - Lack of transparency in diversity assessment in their hiring process despite touting themselves as a diverse company

Thank you for taking the time to share this review with us and we are sorry that you were impacted. The decision to conduct layoffs was very difficult to make, however, our leadership team saw it as necessary for the business given the macroeconomic environment. While there is no perfect, easy or comfortable way to let people go, we committed to doing everything possible to treat those leaving with respect and empathy and to provide support and resources to help them land as softly as possible. The Miro Team

Pluspunten

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.

Minpunten

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.
