Great People. Questionable Leadership.

Pros

- Amazing colleagues from most departments - Mixed generational atmosphere - Catered lunches and snacks - Professional and transparent interview experience - Good 401k match - Neat product, for now

Cons

- Lack of empathy during the recent round of layoffs. VP laid me off and did not even know my name. He/She read off a script and the HR counterpart had no answers to any of my questions and both seemed annoyed I even had questions. Director who likely helped make the decisions did not even show his/her face in the meeting and only reached out because he/she needed something from me - Underhanded and misleading conversations from managers and directors to gauge your value and commitment to the company - Disorganization in the layoff process made me feel the People team was unprepared for the layoffs which just made the lack of empathy more pronounced. But the CEO had the PR layoff blog post all ready for customers to see - Frivolous spending like the millions spent on the Monster ad and light up wristbands to tell people to come back to a meeting room for a large corporate event - Product no longer has a distinct competitive edge. The product is a one trick pony and Miro has missed years of potential advancement by relying on their PLG motion and now competition is stronger than ever and Miro is scrambling to differentiate - Push and pull among departments due to competing priorities of teams which cause friction - Lack of transparency in diversity assessment in their hiring process despite touting themselves as a diverse company

Thank you for taking the time to share this review with us and we are sorry that you were impacted. The decision to conduct layoffs was very difficult to make, however, our leadership team saw it as necessary for the business given the macroeconomic environment. While there is no perfect, easy or comfortable way to let people go, we committed to doing everything possible to treat those leaving with respect and empathy and to provide support and resources to help them land as softly as possible. The Miro Team

Pros

Strong focus on culture and diversity. Great benefits package.

Cons

Atrocious sales leadership throughout the entire organization. They brought in a new leadership team (AMER region) from LinkedIn and are the very best at micromanagement, pointless meetings and placing more value on activity over productivity. This is a "good old boys" network (hiring former frat buddies) and none of them have real sales leadership experience, but love to talk strategy. This is a comedy show and almost every salesperson is searching for a new position.

Culture needs a major overhaul

Pros

Lots of folks in different regions which makes for diversity of thought Everyone is generally a good person to work with and wants to do their best work. People quickly hop on opportunities. We have customers who love us, which is a great feeling.

Cons

Organization is a mess—people are not aligned goals, structure is confusing, no-one knows what other people at the company do or how to work with them. People do not feel trusted or empowered to do their best work. The main issue: the culture is really really hard on employees. People consistently work on weekends and expect others to work on weekends. Slacks from leadership during the weekends are to be expected. There is so much work and very little prioritization. We're all completely swamped and exhausted and people are checked out. Yes, there's a therapy benefit, but that's a bandaid on a broken culture that needs to be re-built. The therapy benefit is not a solution. Miro sucks you dry as an employee and a human.
