None that I can think of
Duolingo is headed in the same direction as many other FAANG companies, but not in the positive aspects. Duolingo has the most pretentious and clicky workforce I have ever been a part of. Not only that, but the obsession to monetize and grow our consumer base shows that the company's "values" are disguised to trick you into believing that this company actually cares about people. At the end of the day, we are just trying to squeeze people out of their money as much as we possibly can.
I will probably be leaving the tech industry because I feel that we are violating so many issues on an ethical basis. This company has left a bad taste in my mouth.
Stop being pretentious.

1 round HR chat, 1 round pair coding. After I reviewed the question, it was actually not very difficult, but I was nervous in the interview. I finally worked out the result as expected but still failed in this round. Sad.

Straightforward OA and LC questions. Standard Codesignal General Coding Assessment. As for LC, just basic graph traversals and string/array manipulation should be enough. Behavioral was a little short though, so didn't get to share much. Overall,

Easy unproctored CodeSignal. A quick 15-minute behavioral interview where I was asked a maximum of 4 questions about previous experiences. No software experience was expected for either the technical or behavioral interview.
