Process
The overall process was very good, and communication was very quick from HR during the whole process. It took 4 weeks from the first interview to getting the offer. There were 5 rounds:
- HR screening call (30m)
- Coding challenge (home assignment). It took some time, with a mandatory part and a few optional parts.
- Technical interview (1h), focusing on technical knowledge and a bit on behavior regarding how one handles issues.
- Team interview (1h), focusing on team culture and collaboration values. This round was with the team you would work with. Miro seems to have a strong focus on team culture and values, which I liked.
- Final round was behavioral, regarding leadership and growth, with the head of the department.

There seems to be a disconnect from customer needs.
Career growth prospects are almost zero. Promotions are random, with no mentorship.
