I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at DigitalOcean (Berlin) in Sept 2020
Interview
7 interviews:
3 coding sessions
1 HR interview
1 manager interview
2 technical board sessions (distributed systems, networking, languages, etc)
Interviews are well structured. Interviewers were well prepared. Coding tasks had enough complexity to challenge the candidate but were as well doable for the interview time slot.

I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at DigitalOcean (Hyderābād) in Jan 2025
Interview
Interview went well they asked questions based on the resume. However after interviewer failed to communicate what was interviewed. I said things outside resume as it felt like he was talking about others resume.
6 Rounds total, with one recruiter screen and 5 technical conversation style (no coding interview) interviews. No behavioral or system-design, which was expected for this role. Everybody was very friendly and knowledgeable. The recruiter was pleasant and helpful.
