Pros

Bottom line is that Duo is a place you can be proud to work at top to bottom. Every department is hyper customer centric, and it makes a huge difference in the way we progress and make decisions. While this may seem like something basic, having every department with this mindset makes working interdepartmentally super frictionless. Specifically from a sales perspective our approach is refreshing. There's a high focus on selling the right way, and not overselling the product. There's also a high focus on managing the early and middle stages of pipeline to progress opportunities appropriately. Revenue almost becomes an ancillary benefit to running your deals the right way. Lastly, the entire organization stands up for the right things starting all the way at the top with our CEO. As a business we are very inclusive, and make efforts to make security and technology more inclusive as well. Doing things from sponsoring the Women in Security award to sponsoring the Queercon party at Defcon make the organization one you can be proud to work at.

Cons

Not a lot of downside, but one thing I like to bring up is that we're certainly not perfect when it comes to communication. Because we're growing so fast, having communication breakdowns is a near certainty. These are nearly never intentional, and as mentioned in my "pros", because different departments have similar core goals, there's typically not many ruffled feathers when this occurs.

As Bill Walsh, former 49ers coach used to say - the score takes care of itself. :-) I could not be prouder of the honesty and integrity of our sales team, and our relentless focus on the success of our customers across the company. And as Desmond Howard said at sales kickoff in the Big House - individual performance leads to team performance leads to program performance. We could not do this without the unique talents of each and every person here. Thank you for all your years of dedicated service!
