Engineering Manager Interview Experience - United States
Process
Applied online and soon enough received a calendar invite from the recruiter.
On the day of the interview, the link wasn't working, so I've emailed back to the recruiter about it.
His reply was: "Got pulled in the meeting"...
After a couple of days, I just email back and let him know that "It was unprofessional and not the right way to represent the company". He replied back this time: "I'm sorry, I don't have anything on the calendar ..."
Which made me think he doesn't even bother to read the emails or follow up with candidates.
Such a bad experience.
By posting it here I just hope that someone at Digital Ocean Requiting Team will read this, take an action so the next applicants will have a better experience interacting with Requiting :)

DigitalOcean Work Experiences
- 5.0Engineering ManagerEngineering Manager • Current EmployeeJanuary 26, 2018Pros: Open, honest environment - they care about people as well as products. Fast moving - no time to get bored! Very well set up for remote employees.Cons: Not much attention has been paid to keeping track of history, so when the players change or move on, decisions are often questioned and revisited.
- 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.
