The best company I've ever worked for

Pros

DigitalOcean places a high emphasis on laterally transforming its employees into happier, friendlier, more knowledgeable, and higher skilled people.

Cons

From my perspective (and this is extremely relative) it has taken some time for DigitalOcean to offer competitive salaries for those living in the NYC area. However, management has responded positively to this feedback.

Pros

The DigitalOcean Cloud is so simple and easy to use, I love this and so do our customers. It's exciting to be on the DigitalOcean team because we are helping people all over the world deploy their apps to the cloud. DigitalOcean's Cloud is built and maintained by our team of engineers in NYC and remotely across the world. Our Support team are always showing love to our customers in unique ways, this makes DO an energetic and innovative environment. Our Community team create amazing articles that help everyone learn something new or how to improve on what you are already doing. Every team will be happy to work with you, you only need to ask. We are all excited to create a great customer experience. My manager is extremely supportive, cares about our team, our careers and works hard to make sure DO is a great place that we all love! I meet with my team for weekly 1:1s, we work though development plans and focus on individual career goals. It's very exciting to have seen many of my team members successfully reach their career goals over the last year by transferring from our Support team to a variety of teams across DO including TechOps, Engineering, Community and Customer Success.

Cons

This is a fast-paced environment with constant change each day. Everyone is always working to make things better for each other and our customers. If you are excited to work with your team to always make improvements then you will love working here. If you do not like change or are not used to change then this may take some adjustment.

Pros

** DigitalOcean has a lot of money, customers, traction. ** The name is strong, developers really love DigitalOcean. ** If you're able to navigate a very early stage successful startup the ability to make an impact is real.

Cons

** The company is heavily skewed towards very opinionated, inexperienced, 2* year olds. ** The "C executives" don't seem to know what they are doing, although try hard. ** Culture is not what they think it is.
