Pros

Lunch catered. Great health benefits. Flexible schedule. Great work/life balance.

Cons

They are a start up and no one really knows what to do with someone else's vision and idea. My entire experience at DigitalOcean felt like a hamster wheel experiment. I felt like they were collecting data on what worked and what didn't work. If you ever wanted to practice for any political role in government, you will love the office politics here. Leadership? bruh (insert John Wall meme). I wish I had enough baby powder to slap some sense into them. What did the five fingers say to the face? You know the rest. Proceed with caution. Play the game. They aight.

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.
