I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at DigitalOcean
Interview
Applied online and soon enough received a calendar invite from the recruiter.
On the day of the interview, the link wasn't working, so I've emailed back to the recruiter about it.
His reply was: - "Got pulled in the meeting"...
After a couple of days, I just email back and let him know that "It was unprofessional and not the right way to represent the company". He replied back this time: "I'm sorry, I don't have anything on the calendar ..."
Which made me think he doesn't even bother to read the emails or follow up with candidates.
Such a bad experience.
By posting it here I just hope that someone at Digital Ocean Requiting Team will read this, take an action so the next applicants will have a better experience interacting with Requiting :)

Interview
The interview process was relaxed, and everyone was very professional, honest, and friendly. I wish there was more context about the particular teams I would be managing, and how many teams.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
I can't remember specifics, but they mentioned they were canned questions.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at DigitalOcean (Ciudad de Mexico) in Mar 2023
Interview
Overall it went well, it was fast, and the recruiter, answered all of my questions almost immediately which is always a good thing for a recruiter. On the other hand, the documents to sign are not really clear, and I had to sign some documents twice because they had wrong information, so at some point this can discourage the people since you cannot rely in the given information in the first place, besides that all of it was really good!

I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at DigitalOcean in Dec 2021
Interview
After applying I was contacted by a technical recruiter, they clearly set expectations for the process of interviewing and hiring, gathered my information and desires and did an initial screening fit for the role.
From there I interviewed with the hiring manager, did a take home assessment, met with team members, people operations, a peer and executives for additional culture and skills interviews. Each had their own area of focus and was able to give me deeper insights into the role and environment.
After interviews i met with the recruiter and aligned expectations about an offer and its contents. They hit the numbers i wanted and terms to join so i accepted.
