Pros

Solid business model Founders Excellent compensation and benefits

Cons

Shockingly political environment with extreme egotism at many of the highest levels, hiding behind a mystique of fun-loving, beer drinking and hoverboard riding. Founders have lost control and lost sight of what made Duo great by placing the wrong leaders at the helm. Duo will very likely do well because they have a solid business model. They will very likely continue to grow, but will do so on the backs of some very good people who deserve better.

Pros

Some really great people, Office location, social events

Cons

The middle management was very disappointing, The focus was so much on company culture, yet there was so much in-fighting and back stabbing it became untenable. EMEA was poorly run and a lack of techical sales really caused a problem. Promotion for EMEA employees was virtually non-existant and run totally from the U.S. No work from home policy. Poorly managed product.

Thank you for sharing this, especially as a former member of our EMEA team. It means a lot to me that you still care enough about Duo to speak out about your past experience. I’m glad that you found some great people, and we hope friends, during your time as a member of the team. While I do feel that we have company culture that lives by our value “be kinder than necessary” and that our product is exceptional, your review outlines a different picture. I am disappointed that our channels for feedback at Duo did not work for you. I would welcome the opportunity to listen and learn from your experience with Duo and improve the experience for others within the company. I do hope you will reach out. Henry, VP EMEA

The hidden truth

Pros

Work life balance is great. Product is high demand.

Cons

The fake culture is oppressive.This company presents itself as an accepting and inviting work place. The reality is, that's true unless you are not a clone of every employee already there. If you're not mentally determined to be a stereotypical millennial, good luck with this job. There are ways to exploit the "culture" to get people fired, and the management team all know this. There is at least one Director that will start a conversation with you, and literally walk away from you in the middle of your response. You'll notice time and again the slogan is "If you're not a nice person, we don't want you working here". Having a Director that disrespects you at a basic human level is in clear contrast to that, and it speaks volumes for the way this company operates behind the scenes.

Thank you for sharing, although I’m deeply disappointed to hear this. I’d appreciate the opportunity to have a frank discussion with you about your experience here, as we have been deeply committed to building a diverse and inclusive workplace globally. We celebrate victories and learn from mistakes together - but we never tolerate disrespect for our colleagues, as you've heard correctly. I hope to hear from you soon.
