The people are amazing and the work is rewarding. Can't ask for more!

The company is going through some growth so there are parts of the business that are still catching up. But people are invested in doing it right, so it is always improving.

Thanks and I totally agree -- the people are amazing! We're definitely growing fast moving quickly, and that has two sides. On the positive side we offer really interesting, challenging work because of all the opportunity ahead of us. As you pointed out, that's rewarding because it creates ability to have impact at scale, and help our employees stretch themselves as they develop. Which is awesome! And the flip side, as you've also pointed is that we definitely need to be mindful of making sure all aspects of the business are moving as fast as we need to support our growth. That can be challenging at times but doing it right is always top of mind for us. Thanks for reminding of that and sharing the feedback. We are absolutely and intentionally committed to growing in a healthy fashion - please help us make sure we are executing on that promise!

Pros

I love working for DO. Very competitive salary and benefits. Co-workers are welcoming. You're part of the family from day one. The hardware/software is cutting edge and you work with some of the brightest engineers in the industry. Management is very open and responsive to feedback. The C levels are approachable and keep everyone looped in on the direction of the company. There are many promotions from within, lots of opportunities for advancement if you work hard.

Cons

DigitalOcean is rapidly expanding, so there are some growing pains that come with that. Some recent additions to the recruiting team should help bring up the pace of new hires.
