Pros: Miro is a fun and supportive work environment. Not very corporate compared to my prior FAANG experience. The product is exciting and useful. Customers mostly love it, which is very energizing. The salary in Berlin is competitive, and the offices in a coworking space, where we rent an entire floor, are quite nice. There are a lot of perks, for example, a very generous pension/insurance plan.

Cons: Some of our infrastructure is struggling to keep up with the rapid growth of the developer population.

Pros: Great company overall, with opportunity to grow and work on unique projects.

Cons: Teams lack cohesion at times.

Pros: The product is interesting. The company is not too large and not too bureaucratic. The office space is nice, and there are interesting technical challenges.

Cons: The company never let go of its startup mindset. Leadership is mainly composed of those who were there since the beginning, and you can clearly see strong favoritism and "all to my friends" behavior. Promotion cycles and HR rules are not respected. While promotions were "blocked," some people got pulled up two or three levels higher for no reason. Product team members are constantly fighting with each other. Good ideas were sabotaged just because they weren't their ideas. Tech debt is high, and as engineers are promoted per "project," you see lots of people suggesting giant, over-engineered solutions that only increase maintenance costs to gain points. Managers and senior managers are just good coders who got promoted and have no clue how to lead a project. Designers and PMs are scarce and never commit to one team. Good luck getting answers to what you need. Meanwhile, we have all the corporate BS: "resilient mindset," "pizza day," "Miro values," and nothing is real. In 2023 and 2024, it had a burnout rate over 5% higher than the Netherlands average. The 2024 layoff was illegal, with many people being tricked into signing the deal. Misogyny was also a huge problem.
