Entrevista
Duo takes hiring seriously, and the interview process was extremely solid. An in-house recruiter immediately made me feel at ease, and everyone that I talked to during the process was very friendly and enjoyable to talk to. I had originally applied for a position much earlier in the year, but was told that I would likely be a better fit for a different team within the company, and that they would keep my info on file -- I sort of thought this was a kind of way of turning me down, but about 6 months later they called me up and said a position had opened up, and they wanted me to come in to interview.
The interview took about a full day, and I spoke to two managers, a director and a VP of engineering. There was a technical interview (standard comp. sci questions, including big O notation and unit tests), a behavioral interview, and two more conversational interviews in which they got a feel for my technical background and personality, and gave me lots of opportunities to ask questions and assess more about the company.
Duo seems to be full of people who are actively working to make sure that the rapid growth the company is experiencing happens in a meaningful way -- they take a lot of pride in ensuring that the culture moves in a positive direction, and one value that was frequently touched on was "Be Kinder Than Necessary," and it showed in the sort of interactions I experienced in their office.
The entire interview process consists of a phone screen, meeting with hiring manager, coding skills interview, and system design interview. You can be cut at any point in the process.

Tell me about a time when you encountered a difficult challenge and overcame it.
The first step was a questionnaire form about your experience and why you want to work at Duo. The second step was a behavioral interview with the hiring manager. Be prepared for this as they are heavy on STAR format questions and will go into detail. Overall, everyone I met was very welcoming and nice. Unfortunately, I was ghosted after the second round and it has been about 2 months since.

When was a time you received negative feedback and how did you handle it?
Had 2 interviews. Took over a month to be able to schedule the first interview and then the coding interview. I had issues with their automated scheduler had a hard time getting in touch with a person to fix the scheduling issues. The first round was standard fare for interviews - asking about resume, experience, etc. They didn't inform me that the person who I had been scheduled to meet was not the person I was interviewing with. This is fine, the person couldn't make it, but some advance warning would have been nice. Prior to the second interview, they never sent a confirmation email (despite the first email they had sent discussing the 2nd round interview saying "hey look out for a confirmation email!"). I had issues during the first round with scheduling so I reached out to make sure everything was alright. I reached out to 2 different people multiple times over multiple days and only received a confirmation email an hour prior, so I wasn't sure if the interview was even going to go ahead. The whole process was such a pain. And during the second interview they said there might be 4 more rounds of interviews left! No thanks. Terrible process. Was not impressed with anyone who I interviewed with or was in contact with during the recruiting process.
