DigitalOcean Employee Reviews

I studied finance in college and started my career as an equity research analyst working for an asset management company. I wanted to work for a fast-growing and innovative company where I could make an impact. So, I switched careers and joined DigitalOcean in 2019. There’s a lot of growth potential for this company, driven by digital transformation and companies moving to the cloud.
