Pros

• Perfect work/life balance. There's no pressure to work long hours. • Very friendly. "Kinder than necessary" is instilled in the culture. • Office has a good vibe. A little cramped, but that seems to add to the camaraderie.

Cons

• "Kinder than necessary" can go a little far sometimes. It can inadvertently stifle honest conversation. That said, it's better to be too kind than not enough. • Tech stack is outdated. Duo is making a concerted effort, but it has a ways to go. Still a VM architecture. Some services have been containerized, but they aren't container native. • Not diverse. Though that's an industry-wide problem. The culture is inclusive, so I'm not sure why diversity isn't higher.
