- 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
