Pros
1. Working on a product that market loves and buys. Product-led company is so much better than sales-led (in my experience as a PM). 2. Company for people who want to grow professionally faster than at more established orgs. Come here to work, gain new skills, try new things that haven't been done in the company before you. And you can grab more and more responsibility based on your appetite as opposed to being a "PM of one button"; not always possible at larger companies. 4. Making an impact and seeing user happiness after you delivered new functionality is so cool. 5. Compensation is above the market + there are stock options. 6. CEO with great vision who will always stay a PM at heart: this helps us build important strategic things rather than bells and whistles. 7. Friendly and respectful culture - never have I seen one employee harass or disrespect another. Some newcomers shared that Miro is way nicer than their previous more aggressive / competitive companies.
Cons
1. You should be very clear about how much you are willing to contribute: Miro is in hypergrowth and needs people who will really care about business and professional development. Please don't join if you just want a laid back place to spend time and get a nice salary: I have seen a couple of PMs who haven't delivered anything impactful in a year and it's beyond my comprehension. 2. If you are looking for a strong mentor and manager, I have to admit there aren't enough strong senior managers, and if you are a strong pro, you may have to coach your manager too for some time :) 3. Same with a clear career map: this is not a place where one will give you a guarantee of what your role/grade will be in 1 year, 2 years, 3 years. Other than that - speak to a couple of people in your function and get more insights!

Pros
Good compensation package and equipment provided.
Cons
Not authentic company but rather ticking the boxes of a checklist of what a “cool” company should do. Working culture is not fun. Time is spent mostly planning. However, things are then implemented quickly without following good engineering practices. Very hierarchical and bureaucratic. Managers are bossing around. It is a lot about showing off and bragging about any small thing you delivered rather than actually being good at your work. You won’t be able to work on the stuff you enjoy, but it will be chosen for you. Quarterly OKRs is just something ridiculous which usually consumes 2-3 weeks of pointless admin work. The tools used internally are chosen poorly. Tech stack is old. The laptop is barely running most likely due to all the spyware installed and bad VPN. The positive reviews are most likely written by the people who have never worked in an actually good company and are blinded by the Miro swag and gifts they receive. All the negative reviews are on point.
