Pros

The whole UK team is really welcoming, friendly, and helpful. One of the nicest things I have found about working there is that senior management is very open to feedback and suggestions, and are very good at implementing them when actionable. Pretty flexible about remote working and hours; over the course of the pandemic, the setup and accommodations for remote work got better. pre-covid there was a lot geeky activities in the office - tabletop games and stuff like that, and some of that has moved online or been partially revived as the limited office attendance has been a bit expanded)

Cons

growing pains - company is expanding rapidly and many things are in flux, both in terms of specific technical details and broader direction. Work priorities can change rapidly, and sometimes important work ends up being insufficiently prioritised because of other, also important work. Due to rapid growth dev resources are sometimes stretched a bit thin. on a very subjective note: I found myself clashing a bit with the parts of the company that fall more on the bank/finance/fintech side of things. I had to learn more about finance to do my job than i necessarily wanted

Pros

I enjoyed my time at Duco as I was able to learn and grow as an individual and a tech

Cons

Some of the cons I had that sometimes it was tough to converse with my colleagues as some of them were in a different time zone

Pros

Convenient location in midtown. Good group of people in NY - revenue focused office

Cons

Management is completely blind to the fact company is becoming less competitive. Innovation is extremely slow paced. Office is small and building is dirty. Company is a shell of its former self and revenue is rapidly trending down. Big mistake to join the “vision” management has. Company is trying to sell and product often loses to competitors or AI builds.
