    Pros

    Benefits and remote work, CEO had a true open door policy and engages with all leaders in the organization. AMA type sessions help employees surface grievances early and often.

    Disconnected from org due to extremely distributed team especially for leadership roles

    Finance department has no life and no life balance. We are labs rats running in the wheel

    CEO Approval
    Business Outlook

    Pros

    Culture, perks, Sammy recharge days

    Cons

    Poor management, work-life balance is awful, lack of training, no transparency, no clear goals or leadership from direct manager. I would probably love it here at a different department.

    Incredible Company with fun culture, generous benefits and excellent salaries

    Dec 8, 2014 - Director and Team Lead in New York, NY
    Recommend
    CEO Approval
    Business Outlook

    Pros

    Everyone that is hired immediately becomes part of the DigitalOcean family. The office always has great energy. The executive team is approachable and always available for coaching or questions. You are encouraged to continue to learn and participate in areas that interest you. There are several events and activities including yoga, shows and nightly hangouts. Teams go out to lunch or dinner with each other, and the executive team often join. Compensation is very competitive, the company is definitely generous covering all meals, transportation and even gym memberships. The company also believes in "take time off when you need it" vs. the dated 2 weeks industry standard. If you work hard, you are quickly recognized.

    Cons

    I wouldn't say there are any cons vs challenges. As a growing startup, there are challenges that arise when staff double in size. The company strives to be transparent and available when any issues arise.
