I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at DigitalOcean in June 2018
Interview
The interview process was really straightforward. It went from having a first introductory call with HR, to having an interview with the hiring manager and team members, to having an engineering interview and an interview with business. The interviews were arranged very quick, despite being in a different timezone. HR was really nice and helpful all along the process. They responded very quick and always gave feedback.
