Pros

- Every single person at Duolingo is genuinely kind. This is probably because of the focus the company places on hiring mission-driven individuals. Even the leadership team is very approachable and humble - Extremely talented and hard-working peers! - Huge importance given to diversity and inclusion - Very transparent culture that makes each employee feel involved in high-level strategic decisions made by the company - Even though Duolingo is now a public company, even fresh college grads get an opportunity to work on meaningful projects - A chance to genuinely work on making people's lives better

Cons

- Getting a sunburn in the company retreat to Cancun

Pros

Like many employees here, I came in large part for the mission: free language education for the world. It feels great to work for something that is truly meaningful to me. I also came here because the opportunities in online education are so exciting: we can develop and iterate on new and more effective ways to teach at a much larger scale than was ever possible before. On top of that, the team here is top-notch, on par with tech giants like Google and Facebook. Anyone who has used Duolingo can tell that we have a stellar product team. Lastly, Duolingo has a great culture -- it's a really fun place to work.

Cons

Hmmm, hard to think of anything. There are a lot of social events here -- I can't possible participate in all of them?
