Pros

The people really care about the mission and company values here at Duolingo and the company really cares about the people carrying out the work! There's a comfort in knowing that the senior executives not only want you engaged but they want to remove those external barriers that can sometimes make coming to work a chore. This encourages me to always perform at my best...because I'm rooting for us all to win! I can't wait to see the impact that Duolingo and its employees continue to have on the WORLD!

Cons

No real cons, just hope that we continue to maintain our current culture as we grow!

Pros

Mission, smart and kind people, great work, hard working teams focused on results and delivering against an awesome mission. People push themselves and each other to learn and grow. Swarms of smart and creative problem solvers.

Cons

Small number of people are unhappy and instead of leaving they complain. A lot. I think it's like this everywhere but in a smaller company you feel it.

Pros

1. Great, and I mean great people 2. PTO policy very generous and unlimited sick time 3. Pretty flexible hours and the offices themselves are nice. 4. Super good for new grads, do your time for a couple years then move on.

Cons

1. Pittsburgh is the worst city I’ve ever had to live in. If that’s your assigned office good luck trying to transfer. No ability for remote work even temporary for legitimate family reasons. 2. Promos are based on favoritism. If you’re saddled with a bad manager you get a bad review for no reason. If your manager doesn’t like you, they will complain to others on the team about you behind your back.
