      Pros

      The culture at DigitalOcean is like no other. Everyone is very kind and helpful. It's as though everyone's mission is to look out for everyone else. It's a truly unique atmosphere.

      Cons

      Honestly, there is not a con that I can list. The organization all around is AMAZING! Hopefully, the company will keep it up. In my experience, most employers rapidly turn to mediocre places to work.

      That's so wonderful to hear - thank you for the feedback. We care deeply about our culture so it's always gratifying to hear that our investment in that area is paying off. And I couldn't agree more about prioritizing our amazing employees. They are the key to everything we do and build and as long as I am here I can commit that it will always be top of mind for DO, and "love" will always remain a core value.

      Pros

      - lots of ownership - decent middle management - great teammates - learning a lot - older employees do tend to have competitive RSU grants and salaries

      Cons

      - tons of legacy systems (10+ years version of Ruby on Rails... 10+ years since some products or services were updated, 0 associated automation to help) - last 2y of leadership has brought on tons of reorgs & changes. Example - recommended PTO days quietly went down, got rid of lots of free snacks, anniversary gifts went down $100s of dollars, plenty of silent layoffs - Senior leadership is focused on 1 thing - getting the stock price up. Has no interest in supporting some of our legacy systems that can prop up new products. - new hires are not fitting into our culture. Inflated titles. Empire building. Awarded for submitting buggy AI Slop code. Encourage working on the weekends. Starting to get toxic.
