Cons
I would not recommend working at DigitalOcean. The company has a toxic culture from top to bottom (ELT to ICs), and the leadership team lacks experience to run a profitable company. There is a pervasive blame culture that creates an atmosphere of fear and uncertainty. There's also clear favoritism towards certain employees, which creates an uneven playing field for everyone else. On top of that, the company isn't transparent about its goals or direction, making it difficult for employees to feel like they're working towards something meaningful. For example, leadership was adamant that there would not be layoffs, and two months later they conducted a RIF in the most inhumane way due to poor leadership choices made years prior. Overall, while the compensation and benefits are decent, the culture at DigitalOcean is not healthy or supportive. If you're looking for a company where you can grow and thrive in a positive environment, I would suggest looking elsewhere.
