Senior Software Engineer Interview Experience - New York, New York
Process
As an interviewee the whole process from top to bottom was a joy. Everyone on the recruiting side felt like they were doing everything they could to be both efficient and responsive. The interview panel that I took part in was fully remote and there were no surprises on my end.
Each interviewer had their own style and set of questions that they wanted to go through. The majority of the questions that I fielded were around just how I thought about the job and some of the challenges that may come down the road. A very refreshing interview process and I am glad to be on board.

DigitalOcean Work Experiences

- 2.0Used to be a good company, long time agoSenior Software Engineer • Current EmployeeNew York, New YorkOctober 13, 2024Pros: Very few are left. Work life balance is still almost ok, but recent changes are pushed massively against these values.Cons: I've been at this company for several years to see it degrading from an awesome company to a place that I dread, spiralling down into a toxic environment where hate against your peers is not only unpunished but encouraged. In the last weeks alone several amazing engineers with ton of experience and environmental knowledge left, and they literally said "anyone's free to leave". Well, yes, but that's not exactly what you want to hear from someone who cares about their teams. About diversity: the leadership team is now only males, all belonging to the same culture. I'm wondering about the hiring process there, in fact I have strong doubts there was anything fair at all.
