DigitalOcean Employee Reviews about "great benefits"

Pros

- Like having a second family - Extremely generous benefits - Getting to work with people who consistently aim for perfection, but understand when it may not be possible. - Interacting with a client base that truly appreciate you

Cons

I'm still looking for a con.

Pros

- Amazing team - Good pay & Benefits - Exciting work - Good worklife balance

Cons

- Upper management not transparent - Constant change of direction disrupting work

Pros

DO cares about its employees and the benefits offered are really good. Especially if you are not in NYC and be sitting around the world. The culture is inclusive and focused on a great employee experience.

Cons

You have to be sure about working 100% remote in most cases. There are not great many opportunities to build a career within the engineering org. There are also a lot of growing pains in the engineering org.

Pros

1) DO is a great place for interns. It has a very hip and relax environment. With all the marketing DO has spent to promote itself as a people first company and as a serious contender of Amazon, putting “DO” on your resume can be really good. 2) Perks and benefits are GREAT. The salary is very competitive since it’s a NYC company. 3) Great remote culture, especially considering all the perks and competitive salary.

Cons

1) Siloed work culture. It's quite disturbing to see how it stages and fakes the work culture on cam and in front of the media 2) Lack of transparency. The company always says “love” when he wants to avoid a controversial topic and underplay the severity of an issue. 3) So obsessed with numbers. Every employee is just a statistic. The company aggressively hires people to achieve the target but also aggressively loses its good people. Unfortunately, it doesn’t detail the two sides of the story behind the numbers, such as # of hires increases but churn also increases… why such high employee turnover… who knows? Only the positive side gets disclosed. 4) The leadership team keeps building layers of mediocre management team especially the middle management. Good people or the entire team were leaving this company. Some left on their own and some were let-go to accommodate a new hire. Obviously, there’s no growth and promotion in this company.

Pros

The benefits and great WLB.

Cons

I haven't seen none yet.
