DigitalOcean Employee Reviews

I noticed senior designers who really went out of their way to help me navigate this new experience. Even non-designers and my product managers are consistently kind and positive. That’s made a really big impact on working my first full-time job.

Isabel Shic, Junior Product Designer

When I joined DigitalOcean, I was looking for more than just a job—I wanted a place that felt like home. DO gave me that from day one. The way the company supported me, especially outside of work, allowed me to show up as my best self every day. Through big transitions like the pandemic, they always put my family first. That support helped me stay grounded and, in turn, empowered me to help others do their best work for our customers.

I resonate the most with DO Learning. The company really encourages everyone to have a growth mindset and provides resources and tools to help people learn and grow. For example, we have a book program where we get reimbursed for buying books every month. We also get access to all these great materials on LinkedIn Learning.
