The interview process was a little lengthy for me, but it's because I was interview for multiple rolls. Overall the process was much better than I've had with interviews at other companies, and I always felt like everyone was trying to help me do my best.

It consisted of 4 steps, but I ended up with 5 steps in the end.

1. Meeting with the hiring manager - Manager was very interested in my background and was very kind.

2. Coding interview - This was relaxed and collaborative.

3. Panel interview - This was an interview with 4 members of various teams. These were very relaxed and were more of a conversation with questions thrown in.

4. Final Interview/offer - This was a real quick chat with the team lead.

Overall I thought the process, while a little long, was pretty relaxed and felt like they were actually trying to get to know me rather than quiz me on my knowledge. I would definitely recommend DigitalOcean to anyone who asked just purely based on their interview process.

The interview included system design based questions, questions about containers, networking, and a basic coding task.
