Overall one of the nicest interview process. The interviewers were really nice and the recruiting team keeps in touch with you throughout the process with feedback at various stages.
Initial screen with a recruiter followed by a call with the manager for the team then a technical interview followed by four more panel interviews covering a wide variety of topics. Make sure you are ready and able to talk about the experiences on your resume.

DigitalOcean Work Experiences
- 5.0Best Company I have ever worked forSoftware Engineer II • Current EmployeeOctober 20, 2021Pros: - Great culture - Wonderful team dynamic - Excellent benefits - Sense of making an impact - And again a greater culture Having loved their products before I started working here I can say the simplicity and care is exactly what it is behind the scenes. In the time I've worked here I feel heard and I have learned a lot, and what's crazy is that I feel respected which has been hard to find in companies as of late.Cons: There's only one, and it's that the work is fast paced, and similar to a startup. A lot of what we do/work on isn't a known fixed issue and a lot of the times you're stuck trying 10 thousand things to see what works and what doesn't. This might be a con to some, and a pro to others (I'm in the pro category) but I thought I'd list it here.

If you are in Asian country, you get paid according to local market which is not fair tbh.
