      What is the company culture like at Duolingo?

      Duolingo reviews

      Great company to work for!

      Anonymous employee
      Current employee
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business outlook

      Pros

      Great culture and WLB, colleagues are smart and collaborative

      Cons

      Moves slowly (like any other bigger tech company)

      Exciting mission and benefits, management varies

      Anonymous employee
      Current employee
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business outlook

      Pros

      A mission you can get excited about, great benefits, great office culture

      Cons

      Middle management quality can be hit or miss, lots of time on Zoom since teams are fragmented

      Fine place to work as a contractor

      Test developer
      Former contractor
      Pittsburgh, PA
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business outlook

      Pros

      Good flexibility and interesting work

      Cons

      Work as a contractor is very inconsistent with little room for growth

      10/10

      Business outlook

      Pros

      Great culture, environment, and benefits

      Cons

      Not much tbh! Takes a lot of hard work, but what job doesn’t

      no support

      Product management intern
      Former intern
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business outlook

      Pros

      decent culture (outside of product), good mission

      Cons

      no diversity, no support, bad location and not a lot of opportunity to change offices

      Amazing culture. Hopefully that stays

      Software engineer
      Current employee
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business outlook

      Pros

      - Great culture and emphasis on collaboration/having fun - Made several life long friends here - Post IPO stock gains were great while they lasted - CEO is smart and still in 'founder mode' - It's fun to work on problems in education for a brand that people love

      Cons

      - Comp is 80% of what you would get at Google or Facebook. The company is relying on its feel-good mission/stock growth to make up for the remaining 20%. The recent stock price crash has made this worse - HR had better act soon before best talent leaves. - We're hiring more people, but the scope of work for each person seems to be getting smaller over time. - Pittsburgh is a great city to live in but limits your career opportunities if you want to switch companies

      Great product and fun culture

      Pros

      Strong culture, fun brand, interesting work

      Cons

      People team - lack of clarity on compensation structures

      Good pay and culture

      CEO approval
      Business outlook

      Pros

      Good pay and culture. CEO is genius

      Cons

      Culture on the other hand can seem cliquey, especially if you are not 100% into it.
