Pros

- I was a fan of the product before joining, and was pleasantly surprised by how easy it was to find new use cases for things beyond project planning, like weekly team meetings, visualizing data and reporting and in general adding a bit of personality to otherwise dull spreadsheets - Pretty decent benefits and competitive salaries in the Netherlands - Compassionate and kind team members across the business

Cons

- Much of the leadership team has only worked at Miro, or very few jobs in addition to their Miro experience. This can be an asset when it comes to understanding the product and historical context, but also shows in how decisions are made, as title and power are often leveraged instead of strategy (which is somewhat ironic given that the company places so much emphasis on having as much of a flat hierarchy as possible) - The decision to do layoffs seemed like an afterthought, or merely copying the tech industry writ large instead of some sort of requirement to keep business moving - There is much work to be done to make Miro a safe environment for underrepresented and marginalized employees. Leadership team is not bought in, and even though a number of customers want to see the needle moved on DEI-related matters, Miro instead only offers lip service and emphasizes "neutrality" instead of actually acknowledging structural issues that trickle down from the tippy top. This is further highlighted by the number of underrepresented leaders who have left the company of their own accord, many before the layoffs even happened

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.
