Pros

Loads of appreciation felt for the work I do on the team.

Tons of "DOLove" shared with employees that's "baked into" the culture here.

Definitely cutting edge tech combined with highly industry-relevant work with personal instant opportunity to positively effect customers with the work that I do.

Senior management that really cares about employees and really cares about creating an excellent, focused strategy for DO that's based on customer research.

Fully remote work opportunities.

Great benefits and competitive pay.

Cons

There are challenges with a fully remote work environment, particularly around building relationships. But this is not isolated to DO these days.

Honestly, I have not hit any real issues working at DO yet. I'm very pleased.

Advice to Management

Continue to put DigitalOcean employees first because it's the employees that serve DO's customers. Happy, satisfied employees make for happy, satisfied customers.

Continue to have the AUA ("Ask us Anything") sessions. They're great and your humility displayed there is fantastic.

Continue to move forward in pulling us together to in-person meetings. So important for us to have face time to build on the remote relationships.

The only thing I haven't seen happening yet is to pull the customers in close to the developers so that we can see the impact and meaning of our work. It will help developers AND customers even if at times, it's not perfectly "clean" and is a little messy. It's super important.
