Pros: I've witnessed a great amount of collaboration between people and between teams so far. The company is full of smart, motivated and friendly people that help you solve problems. My manager has a strong focus on helping me develop my career and getting obstacles out of the way. Most communication is written and asynchronous which is very convenient if you're a remote employee and/or in different time zones.

Cons: Internal documentation is not the best. It's mostly solved by talking to the right team or people but that can slow you down across different time zones.

Pros: Kindness collaboration ownership I love working for DigitalOcean and what we stand for and just would like to continue this amazing.

Cons: Salaries could be higher, lesser corporate ladder structure

Pros: - Initiatives that are deemed important get implemented quickly (fail-fast culture) - Executive leadership team has a clear vision and presents a united front - Company strategy tends to follow relevant industry trends, which makes your work feel valuable and exciting (this could also be seen as a con though, in the sense of lack of identity) - Individual teams and engineers are given a lot of autonomy to solve problems

Cons: - It's taken a few years to stabilize after going public which has been a bit of a roller coaster, but this is less relevant to new folks joining - For a cloud computing company, the amount of software which actually uses the cloud and/or is cloud native could be higher (this is improving and leadership agrees) - Executive leadership can sometimes lean too far into the "customer-obsessed" strategy to the extent that employee empathy is sacrificed.
