Frequently Asked Questions

Belonging & Workplace Inclusion

DigitalOcean enables its employees to do the best work of their careers by investing in the employee experience. Whether that’s building in-person connections at one of our Local Meetups, online in one of our Connection Spaces, or through motivating our employees through our reward and recognition platform. When you join DO, you’ll join a rich community of Sharks who care for one another and our customers.

Belonging and Inclustion at DigitalOcean are supported through these spaces, a local meetup program and its dedicated budget, company-wide trainings, parental leave and transition-back programs, and more. 87% of employees in 2025 cited peer relationships grounded in a willingness to collaborate and help one another, as as evidence that inclusion is part of daily culture.

DigitalOcean Employee Reviews

I love the diversity in our working environment and the diversity in our employees. It’s really great to have different perspectives, and, as a global company, I get to learn a lot about other people’s cultures, which is also awesome. I also appreciate that our values promote creativity and innovation—thinking big and bold. There’s a strong focus on continuous learning and investing in yourself and your growth. I’m always learning something new, whether it’s meeting new people, learning new technology, or discovering how our customers are using our products and services.
