I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at DigitalOcean (New York, NY) in Aug 2020
Interview
Interviewers were really friendly and encouraged discussion rather than pressurizing. Whole process was smooth and I really liked it compared to other firms. They also were clear about Company values and the role I am expected to play which made things transparent from the beginning.

I applied through a recruiter. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at DigitalOcean (New York, NY) in Mar 2019
Interview
I attended several interview sessions with different Digital Ocean representatives. The recruiter that I worked with kept me up to date with the dates and times of each interview session and what topics we'd discuss. I had an initial phone screen with the recruiter, and then three video chat interviews covering a personality interview and technical assessment.
Throughout each step of the interview process, Digital Ocean kept to their provided timelines. If they said they'd let me know by a certain time or date, they met that commitment on time if not earlier.
Additionally, speaking with each representative felt more like having a conversation than an interview. Some interviews that I've attended with other companies felt like an interrogation, so the interview process with Digital Ocean was certainly refreshing.

A question that I felt difficult to answer was regarding conflict resolution: "Describe a scenario where you butted heads with a teammate or manager."
