Pluspunten

I have never been at a company that has genuinely cared about it's employees more than DigitalOcean. On a benefit level, they consider all aspects of your life from fitness, commuter, healthcare, and social activities. On a career level, there is a large people team helping everyone build their careers, transition between teams, and provide candid and clear feedback to each other. On a personal level, there is an unlimited PTO plan and a general caring of your comfort and happiness. DigitalOcean has done a great job of sustaining the people-first culture while experiencing hyper growth.

Minpunten

There are shifts of vision and structural changes more often than I would like but that comes hand in hand with a startup culture.

Thank you for the feedback! We absolutely are working hard to create a People First organization that believes in fully supporting our employees to help them be their best. It is true that in a company thats growing and scaling as rapidly as DO is, there are likely to be some iteration of approach, but we hope we're providing the appropriate transparency and support to help you work through the changes effectively.

Pluspunten

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

Minpunten

- 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.
