I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at DigitalOcean in Mar 2019
Interview
The hiring process started with a recruiter screening. From there, it went to one of the hiring managers. The third step was talking with one of the members of the Developer Support team for a technical assessment. I will say that you should be familiar with troubleshooting steps without server access as that was my downfall. The last step would have been a discussion with the second hiring manager. For me, the last step was feedback from the recruiter. Overall, it was a long process and ended up being disappointing for me, but Digital Ocean was great along the way and I hope to use what I learned to apply again in the future.

The interview process was very good. There were multiple rounds of interviews (Technical, Cultural etc)
The interviewers made me feel comfortable throughout the interview process.
