DigitalOcean reviews

Most teams have been completely decimated due to poorly executed layoffs. A significant amount of institutional knowledge has left and those roles are being replaced with junior engineers from overseas, and the knowledge transfer for these new roles is moving slower than anticipated. As a consequence of this, there has been a significant rollover and change in C-level leadership as career professionals are resigning to move to new roles. There is a lack of accountability at a leadership level for decision-making. CEO regularly tells people that "if we don't believe in the leadership team, that we should look for other jobs". Travel/Professional Development dollars do not exist for individual contributors, and promotion paths for most, if not all, roles have been eliminated.

- 0 work-life balance - very bad for a PM career as there is no growth in this company for a good PM, no one tracks metrics or know how to measure anything - absolute chaos in prioritization, everything is a p0 - be ready to work on weekends and late nights without being recognized - in some departments there is a dog eats dog culture - very toxic environment - higher management sometimes behaves very disrespectful towards middle management, I've never experienced anything like this in any other company
