What is it like to work at Duolingo?
You get to work with bright, fun, talented people on big, inspiring problems. The people around you are exceptionally curious and kind. The company is hugely ambitious and has a ton of room to grow. Compensation for some roles is on the low side compared to the companies Duolingo wants to compete with for talent.

Duolingo has positive ratings on Glassdoor with 4.6 stars out of 5, and the CEO has a 96\% approval rating. Its record-low attrition rate of less than 2\% in 2020 can also demonstrate its positive company culture, and it views this retention of employees as an advantage.
Why are you interested in working for Duolingo?

Is Duolingo a waste?
It’s a waste of time. In fact, it’s just as bad as the education system Von Ahn criticizes. Duolingo outsources its translation services, allowing for awkward sentences to slip in undetected. And translation (the core of its platform) is already widely known to be an ineffective way to learn a language.

Does Duolingo actually send threatening messages?
