Pros

The most humble people are found here. Colleagues are always willing to help. It always feel safe to ask questions and people genuinely show a great deal of empathy towards peers. The product itself is also pretty amazing. You can see the dogfooding where internally, tools are used much in the same way customers do. Work life balance is probably better than most places. People accept feedback on how to improve things and there's always iteration to try to make things better in the short term

Cons

Unfortunately, a lot of "top down" goals contradict each other. There are some decisions to prematurely optimise infrastructure and architecture decisions too early, which is causing internal friction among engineering teams. Everyone seems busy but it is unclear where this ship is going in the long term. You only hear from some leaders during All Hands and seemingly recycled slide decks. Culture seems a bit diluted compared to other companies. No real career progression. No mentorship program despite asking for it and anecdotally, it seems hard to move teams. You can often feel "stuck" if you happen to be a subject matter expert because whats more important is you keeping the lights on rather than what your interests may be.

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.
