Pros: * Amazing remote culture and laser-sharp focus on making that work * Highly-skilled group of people who take their jobs seriously * Really interesting at-scale problems to solve across the entire tech stack * Current management is very open and honest about the challenges, no visible "head in sand" moments so far * I like a company that knows at which inflection points in growth changes in management are required. From what I can see, DO has no problem making those calls

Cons: * Rapid growth (both in head count and in product offering) has created a degree of instability and disorganization, particularly at the process level. * The tech stack is very much in flux at the moment, with layers of legacy, experimentation, and modern sitting atop (and within) one another; it's chaotic. * I struggle to think of anything else worthwhile that would warrant memorializing in perpetuity. So far it's been a pretty great place to work.

Pros: Pay is good, fully remote, still a lot of talented engineers left. If you're on a good team, day-to-day work is very enjoyable.

Cons: With constant change of priorities and reorgs there's never time to focus on long-term projects. Instead of performance-based terminations, there are periodic layoffs with people chosen at random. Lots of hard-working engineers with glowing performance reviews gone. ICs are blamed for management mistakes. When tech debt creeped in and customers started leaving due to platform instabilities, the executives didn't even acknowledge that prioritizing fast feature shipment led to this situation, they just blamed individual engineers for not being cautious enough when deploying changes.

Pros: Probably the best company culture I have ever experienced. Chill people who care about what they do and are willing to collaborate. I rarely get paged or am asked to work crazy hours (although this isn't the same across all teams). Good experience for those interested in getting into DevOps; you will probably do everything from writing software to deploying, managing, and monitoring it.

Cons: There is always too much work to do and never enough time to do it. Management prefers to buy stock back rather than reinvesting in the business. Salaries are not top tier. It is not the most exciting in terms of innovation and technology. Leadership has been lacking in product and technical vision. A lot of what we do is just keeping our existing tech stack running.
