Pros

Great compensation, certain departments seem to be above the political issues (namely the creative teams). Fantastic product.

Cons

sadly although the founders are solid, humble, brilliant people they did not realize what they were up against when they hired a management team that saw a financial opportunity and a couple of guys who were too inexperienced with business to understand how to protect their original business model. A lot of employees there are not socially astute enough to see the political manipulation that is happening although many are. If money is the most important thing to you and you don't mind playing mental chess then this will likely be a fantastic fit, it's a great opportunity for people who don't mind manipulating others to their own advantage.

Thank you for sharing this, especially as a former teammate. It means a lot to me that you still care enough about Duo to speak out about your experience here, even if our other channels for feedback have failed you (including directly to me). I am proud of the team and the culture we've built at Duo, and dedicated to ensuring we lead with our values everyday. I'd appreciate the opportunity to hear more from you in confidence, if you'd be open to it.
