Pros of working at Duolingo

in my experience the cons where the staff was really rude, management and HR are totally disrespectful that is why I have quitted.

Duolingo benefits

I do not have any favorite perks of duolingo all i know is that When users start ignoring Duolingo’s reminders, the app gets more aggressive. It uses phrases like “Don’t give up now!” to make users feel like they’re failing. This pressure can make users feel stuck, even when they don’t want to keep using the app. and also Duolingo’s constant notifications can really affect users’ mental health. Unlike traditional learning, which is more relaxed, Duolingo’s alerts can cause more stress. Users might start to feel overwhelmed, which could make them give up on learning a new language.

How did you prepare for the Duolingo interview?

i just acted like myself did my best and made it just be you.

How would you improve Duolingo's culture?

i would improve it by not sending such aggressive notifications and less rush to the kids and adults and teens who are using the app such it might just cause them to be discouraged to learn the new language which may in return cause them to delete Duolingo permanently.
