Pros: There are some genuine, smart colleagues here I like to work with.

Cons: As a minority, I feel that I'm constantly judged, doubted, and experience passive aggressive behavior by management, including indirect comments and gestures that make you feel like you don't know what you're talking about.

Pros: Financial: - Competitive pay - Good personal computer perks, especially for remote - 401k 4% match - Personal budget toward learning/growth (books, conferences, courses, etc.) - Paid travel a few times a year Cultural: - Most (all?) positions have remote options, and outstanding remote culture (more than half employees remote) - If you're working in or visiting the office, it looks dope - the designers did some great custom work - Regular AMAs with the CEO and other upper management (transparency) - Focus on removing cultural bias in hiring process - Strong engineering culture - Minimal politicking (everywhere has some, but this is on the lower side) - Well organized and welcoming

Cons: - Compared to the bigger cloud players, DigitalOcean is an underdog in many areas. Maybe a pro depending on your point of view, but it means comparable teams and projects are smaller. - Rapid growth, which means growing pains due to reorganization, learning to scale. Some people are less excited about incoming changes, which causes friction.

Pros: Recruiters are on top of things. Interview process was very straightforward and you could tell they were very interested in good fit with the team. Onboarding was very smooth. It was very easy to understand what I needed to do and my manager and the people team were very helpful.

Cons: I haven't been here long enough to know any meaningful cons.
