Pros

Unique development shop that treats employees with respect, and emphasizes personal growth. Very flexible work environment with an unbeatable work/life balance. Duo is a Drupal-only environment, and they stress continual education for all devs. (At the time of this review, Duo has the highest number of certified Acquia developers in the Midwest, and they really push developers to grow.) Management is open to new ideas and viewpoints -- in fact, the company allows you to make the job what you want.

Cons

Can sometimes feel too informal, and --although the shop is going through a strong growth phase -- they tend to be a little loose with their practices. Also, they sometimes are too forgiving with employees who wouldn't last at other companies -- especially on the PM side.

Pros

Lots of opportunity to learn from smart co-workers. Carve out your own interest with your work. They try to hire smart adults.

Cons

Every smaller consulting firm can be tense, and being a family run can create confusion. You'll need to know what your doing yourself and how to do it yourself.

Pros

If you're willing to sit down, shut up and only do what you're told, it can be an OK place to work, but that's about as positive as I can really get.

Cons

Management had no clear direction. CEO often would turn on a dime and have the developers learn a new content management system because it seemed to be the flavor of the week. Director and manager level employees had far less business acumen / expertise than is necessary for the job. There was a fair amount of high school level politics during my time there, as well. Training and personal growth were virtually nonexistent at Duo. The company's management was often overbearing and obsessed with the billable hour to a point of being a detriment to their clients and therefore themselves. Simple arithmetic was apparently foreign to those in charge of ensuring timesheets were "sufficient".
