I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at DigitalOcean (Austin, TX) in Feb 2023
Interview
Very well organized. I got an interview schedule ahead, and there was only one time change among 6 interviews. Every interviewer was very respectful and nice, I didn't even fell like a standard interview process, more like a conversation. Though they were asking the most profound questions I might ever receive. Gave me a lot of challenges and food for thoughts, which was highly appreciated comparing to a set of standard book questions from other companies.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Most of the good ones were specifically related to my experience so may mot be relevant to most of the colleagues.
The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at DigitalOcean in Jul 2022
Interview
Quick and smooth. A few rounds that started with a recruiter, then to the hiring manager and ended with a number of conversations with peers and people that I would be working closely with should I be invited onboard.
The process and the conversations were as interactive as they could be. I was kept posted as I progressed. I learnt about the team and the values, and I had as much of a chance to see if DO would be a good fit as my manger and peers did.
One of the best experiences I have had.
