The interview process followed the behavioral interview technique with the S.T.A.R. model.

Initially I had off-site phone screenings and hangout sessions to review my interest and potential compatibility for the role. The actual interview process was done on-site in Cambridge for a total of 3 hours.

I was brought into the office where I met with a total of 3 staff members from different teams. 2 of them were remote.

For the remote interview they set up a Google Hangouts session where I video chatted with two team members from the DigitalOcean interview room. I then had a lunch interview with the staff member that was on-site, they paid of course.

The questions were all fair in the style that could be answered with the S.T.A.R. technique.

Overall, this layout was the best I have experienced since graduating college and allowed me to be very clear in what I was capable of.
