Miro reviews

Culture and management: Engineering culture and leadership is just terrible - is a mix of dictatorship and micromanagement. They claim that they want to hire talented engineers, but what they actually need is coding monkeys that do what they have been told and keep their professional opinion by themselves. All technical decisions are made by people that don't even write code and you just forced to implement what they want even though sometimes it doesn't make any sense. A lot of paper work and bureaucracy + micromanagement instead of actually delivering features. They talk a lot about "Miro culture", being a team to win the world, but management don't value and ignore honest feedback, and do nothing to actually improve even a little bit existing 10 years old terrible development process and engineering culture. Most of the engineering management/leadership lack soft skills/any sort of charisma. Codebase: Codebase is just huge piece of legacy Monolith that was under development for 10+ years without any code/architecture quality control/vision and just a huge mess. No ownership for a lot of components and a lot of critical parts are not covered by tests properly because no one cared (some still don't) about engineering practices. Most critical part of the system is built with some proprietary framework that no one understands properly and widely misused which leads to even more mess. Just avoid as much as you can, don't waste your time.
