Engineering Manager Interview Experience - New York, New York
Process
Initial screening was done by a Digital Ocean recruiter, follow-on interviews were done via Google Hangouts, and the final interviews were done on-site in New York City.
The coordination and logistics for Google Hangout interviews as well as in-person interviews were top notch. Lindsey made sure the day I arrived for on-site interviews I knew where I needed to be, and I was well taken care of.
The interview questions were centered around my job role as well as communication, leadership, problem solving, and teaming.
Digital Ocean was clear and transparent throughout the process, and feedback/next-steps were properly communicated to me.
Now that I am on-board at Digital Ocean they have an excellent on-boarding process as well.

- 2.0Couldn't Recommend at this TimeEngineering Manager • Former EmployeeFebruary 23, 2023Pros: The company used to have some of the best engineers and line managers until more than 40 percent were cut.Cons: There is tyrannical and ignorant executive leadership who can't be bothered to understand their business well enough to know how to lead it successfully. Minds change and reorgs happen far too frequently. Direction to teams is poor to nonexistent. There is a clear interest in cutting costs by cutting staff and outsourcing.
