Pros

The're all about collaboration: everyone I've met is open to answering questions and giving context--so critical when you're a new employee and trying to wayfind. They value domain knowledge. People accept and trust that you know stuff. I'm blown away by the ability for folks to hear what you have to say, clarify and integrate your contributions. Proud to be an outlier. Duo is thoughtfully and intentionally different than other companies in the tech and security industry. This is a really good thing and they embrace it with great humility. Striving for better. As Duo evolves, it can be hard to hold on when things are moving so fast. What helps us is a commitment to our core values. Desire to grow diversity & inclusion. They just hired their first manager for d&i. I am stunned by the openness and willingness to change practice & behavior so that Duo is a great place for its team and a model for the industry.

Cons

Honestly I have none. I spent the first three months waiting for the shoe to drop or secret awful to emerge. It hasn't. It just gets better and better. By no means are we perfect, and I'm relieved that there are things to improve...What I think sets us apart is the desire to learn from our mistakes and get better.

Thank you - glad to hear your first year at Duo is going well! Intentionally designing our organization, which includes hiring not just for cultural fit but for cultural contribution, is something the management team at Duo takes very seriously. We look forward to learning together on how to continue developing and maintaining a rich company culture as we are in hyper-growth. Please continue providing valuable feedback!

This Place Is Special

Pros

Bottom line is that Duo is a place you can be proud to work at top to bottom. Every department is hyper customer centric, and it makes a huge difference in the way we progress and make decisions. While this may seem like something basic, having every department with this mindset makes working interdepartmentally super frictionless. Specifically from a sales perspective our approach is refreshing. There's a high focus on selling the right way, and not overselling the product. There's also a high focus on managing the early and middle stages of pipeline to progress opportunities appropriately. Revenue almost becomes an ancillary benefit to running your deals the right way. Lastly, the entire organization stands up for the right things starting all the way at the top with our CEO. As a business we are very inclusive, and make efforts to make security and technology more inclusive as well. Doing things from sponsoring the Women in Security award to sponsoring the Queercon party at Defcon make the organization one you can be proud to work at.

Cons

Not a lot of downside, but one thing I like to bring up is that we're certainly not perfect when it comes to communication. Because we're growing so fast, having communication breakdowns is a near certainty. These are nearly never intentional, and as mentioned in my "pros", because different departments have similar core goals, there's typically not many ruffled feathers when this occurs.

As Bill Walsh, former 49ers coach used to say - the score takes care of itself. :-) I could not be prouder of the honesty and integrity of our sales team, and our relentless focus on the success of our customers across the company. And as Desmond Howard said at sales kickoff in the Big House - individual performance leads to team performance leads to program performance. We could not do this without the unique talents of each and every person here. Thank you for all your years of dedicated service!

Pros

Open and transparent organization that fosters a strong culture with values like 'Be kinder than necessary' and 'Assume positive intent.' Among the nicest people I have ever worked with. It's great to sell a product that customers love and one that puts the user experience at the top of the agenda.

Cons

Fast moving company so expect things to change often.

Appreciate the kind words! Change is a constant at Duo, for sure. Reinforcing the culture/values that has made us successful is critical, yet we're always looking for cultural adds (not "fits") to the team as we grow. Keep the feedback coming! :-)
