Based on my experience, this company does not implement best practices in hiring. They also don't practice the golden rule of treat the candidate as you would want to be treated.

Question 1
Typical tech industry interview - no big surprises
A take home task consisting of a slide presentation creation. The process was quite slow and they took a long time reviewing. It was for product management, and had to have great Duolingo ideas.
I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Duolingo
Interview
I went through 2 rounds of interviews. everyone was very nice. I had to give a powerpoint presentation about myself and career for one of them. they asked pretty basic questions like why I was interested in the company, etc. I think the second interview I was a little more nervous
I was sent hackerrank with 3 coding questions after applying online, following that had behavioral interview where I was asked questions about team involvement. The interviewers were very kind and understanding.
Intern applicants have rated the interview process at Duolingo with 3 out of 5 (where 5 is the highest level of difficulty) and assessed their interview experience as 75% positive. To compare, the company-average is 47.5% positive. This is according to Glassdoor user ratings.
