Love. How many people can say that about a company?

Pros

I fell in love with Duo the first day I met the team. We have two founders that lead with a people first attitude. We have an environment that embraces what makes us each unique, and supports our dreams. I've been invested in by my manager and other leadership since my first day at the company, and the People & Culture team just rolled out more training. I've had the opportunity to attend conferences, go to management training, and I have mentors. Pay and benefits also feel ahead of the curve, but I've never had to worry about it as I always feel it's fair and I'm taken care of. I hear my teammates say the same. We have free healthcare. Who else has that!?

Cons

We've had success faster than most companies and with that has came a surge of growth. I don't know every name anymore, but the company is still small enough to learn and big enough to have a lot of opportunity as new jobs open up.

Pros

Duo is a growing startup where there are many opportunities to shape and contribute to the company. Employees work very hard to make the company successful while also maintaining a fun, lighthearted atmosphere. And there's so much free food. Maybe too much. The work atmosphere is very supportive, and the leadership works to constantly make improvements while maintaining a great culture. The security space is a very interesting place to be with many challenges and opportunities to do meaningful work. Duo is very committed to the community, engaging with tech organizations and university groups while also providing learning opportunities for employees. This is a SF Bay Area style startup in Michigan. It's amazing.

Cons

This is a fast-growing company where things are always changing. It's the nature of successful startups, and some people will be okay with it or even thrive, while others are not. (Personally I like it.) Health benefits and things like 401K matching could get better, and I believe they will as we grow.

Pros

I have been working at Duo Security as a full time software engineer for the better part of a year. In the time I've been here, the company has grown from ~60 people to over 100. I've worked on just about every facet of our core product. I think the single thing that I love the most about Duo is how committed the company is to giving employees the resources necessary to learn and grow in their professional lives. Want to learn a new programming language or framework? Just ask and you'll be given the opportunity to work on a related project. Collaboration is a core part of the culture and mentorship is easy to find. I think I've learned more in my time at Duo than I would have in 3 or 4 years at any other company. The culture at Duo is fun and quirky. The majestic owl is our proud mascot and you'll find owl references littered about our nest. We are friends that do just about every activity imaginable both in and out of work. Good coffee and beer are never more than a hop away. Company sponsored lunches, basketball leagues, and kayaking trips provide a nice breather from work. At Duo, your coworkers are also some of your most loyal friends. Some other perks: - How many companies can say that they have a hoverboard? I'm not even kidding. - We're a short walk away to the best restaurants in Ann Arbor. We're not shy on patroning them either. - Movie nights, LAN parties, and board game nights are great fun. - I've had the opportunity to go to conferences and network with developers from all over the country. - Even if your role is not specifically security related, the entire company's culture is very security oriented. As a software engineer I've had the opportunity to learn about pretty advanced security topics. - We have a ctf club if you still want to learn more about topics in security - We bring in speakers every month for Duo Tech Talks to give presentations on current security research

Cons

For some reason, there is somewhat of a disconnect in inter-departmental communications between work and personal life. On one hand, you regularly talk to people in various roles at the company, whether it's at one of the multitude of Duo events or hanging out after work. On the other hard, I often see ineffective communication between departments on work matters. For whatever reason, each business unit operates independently of each other with little to no communication. Communication between departments isn't *always* necessary, but for a company growing as fast as Duo it sometimes causes miscommunications to arise.
