Senior Software Engineer Interview Experience - United States
Process
They sent me an availability request and I replied back but they didn’t response back. I followed up multiple times and finally replied and set up an initial interview with a recruiter. It took more than two weeks at this point.
Then I passed and they set up another interview with the hiring manager. He seems like off and not much interested in me throughout the interview. I haven’t heard back yet but given his uninterestedness I'm probably rejected. DO seems like very nice company so I’m totally disappointed with the process.

DigitalOcean Work Experiences
- 4.0Very good companySenior Software Engineer • Current Employeeben, OregonMarch 11, 2025Pros: - Good and talented peers - Good pay - RemoteCons: There is nothing that I have encountered so far.
- 1.0Don't swim in this oceanSenior Software Engineer • Current EmployeeRemote, OregonMarch 5, 2018Pros: 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.
- 3.0good place to get exposure to lots of techSenior Software Engineer • Current EmployeeNovember 12, 2018Pros: It is a fast paced, risk embracing, developer centric culture trying to build a platform that punches up against the competition, with lots of energy, good culture initiatives and a flexible work life balance.Cons: Due to the rate of growth in hiring there's a constant churn of new folks which can make finding the right team to engage difficult. Due to rate of change in environment there is a lack of formalized process in many areas. Senior management often presents a less than crisp vision of where projects are headed.
