Amazing Company, Great Product

Pros

Duo is by far the best company I have worked for in my 10 or so years in IT. The culture here is innovative and very collaborative. C-Level leadership is effective and extremely approachable.

Cons

No real disadvantages that I have seen within Duo. I am sure as Duo grows, there will be challenges, but I am confident that Duo will continue to grow and will become a well recognized leader in the security space.

Duo Security Response

Thanks for taking the time to share your experience! Dug will often be heard saying that he doesn't just want to build a great company but a great company to be from. I agree hyper growth will surely present us with challenges as we scale, but I look forward to partnering with you on making sure we keep our focus our people and learning together.

Business Outlook

Pros

Focus on learning and improvement, supportive environment, good people, generally fun,

Cons

Overall, I really liked working there, but there were definitely issues too. The codebase is a bit out of date for a startup. The company is not really a startup anymore and it is getting a little bit of a corporate culture. Communication is not very good and feedback is very difficult to get

Duo is an amazing place to work!

Pros

Duo is an amazing place to work, You will work on projects no one else has ever attempted. Be part of a crazy rocket ship of growth and success. Work with amazing brilliant people who actually care about others. Learn new things every day and grow yourself. Have a CEO who I know will not only read these posts, but also publicly respond and take feedback seriously! Dug Song++ Also the coffee situation is top notch.

Cons

Duo is not for everyone, If you are motivated by ego, power or riding others successes. Duo will be a struggle for you I have seen many fail based on these three things. Even though Duo doesn't hire a**holes, sometime we do unintentionally. Dealing with the aftermath is hard, and takes focus away from more important things.
