Pros: Remote work is the ultimate perk. It pays above market for a reason.

Cons: Engineering is totally dysfunctional team. Directors/Managers focused on upwards reporting & status updates & serious turf wars. Everything has an "angle". "Fun culture" is having a video on your presentation. Many facilitators, not many people actually doing work. Don't bother bringing new ideas to the table. They will only be heard if coming from a select group of old-timers.

Pros: - Great engineering culture: There is a broad assumption of positive intent. Trust within and between teams. - Building a cloud has lots of interesting challenges. - Lots of opportunity for advancement and professional growth.

Cons: There's not much downtime and contributions back upstream don't always happen as much as I'd like.

Pros: The core product is solid and fills a market need.

Cons: New leadership not trust worthy & doesn't believe that DigitalOcean culture was a big part of its success
