Pros

THE PEOPLE. At Duo, we eat, sleep and breathe being “kinder than necessary”. Every single day you are surrounded by individuals who want to do the right thing both personally & professionally. It’s not often you come across people asking, “how do we all win” or “how can we help" I would highly recommend Duo to anyone if you can have the mindset of “today, I am going to be kinder than necessary no matter what is thrown at me”. Surround yourself with people like this & your life will change for the better both inside & outside the workplace.

Cons

Best job I've ever had

Pros

I am continually surprised by how great this company is to work for. As an employee, I feel incredibly valued, and I have yet to work with someone I disliked. The flexibility, work/life balance, compensation, and general attitude around the company are absolutely top notch. I cannot say enough good things about this job, and I hope to stay here for a very long time, and to show my appreciation by giving them my best work possible.

Cons

It's a silly one, but the only thing I can think of is that the fast paced environment means that I don't get quite the personal attention from people as I might otherwise like; meetings get interrupted by slack/email or whatnot. If you aren't comfortable with rapid changes of topic and attention, this might be a tad annoying at times - but it's quite minor in the grand scheme of things.

Pros

Excellent work life balance. Culture of understanding and encouragement for people to not be workaholics, for taking time off, for not getting burned out etc. There were regular top down decisions from the CEO to randomly add new company-wide holidays. Layoffs are never fun but when they happened across Cisco due to covid, a lot of effort was put into providing employees options. e.g. long-tenure employees were offered buyouts, almost all employees were offered the option to switch to 4 day work week (for 80% pay with full benefits)

Cons

Pay was ok but not amazing, especially for security people. Promo and raise process was a black box (even for managers sometimes depending on where you were in the chain). Company is slow to align resources to stated objectives. For example, there's lots of listed objectives to double down on security and recurring revenue streams (e.g. saas like Duo). Despite this, security saas employees may not receive a full bonus if sales targets were missed. Since Cisco's current sales are overwhelmingly from their traditional business of switches, routers, etc., even if the newer segments of Cisco knock it out of the park it's more than possible they won't be rewarded.
