I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at DigitalOcean (Seattle, WA) in Dec 2021
Interview
I first met with a recruiter, who led with a lot of information that, in the past, has only been provided in the final interview step (thinking mostly compensation), which was incredibly refreshing. After, I met with the hiring manager, who provided an overview of the position and an assessment to complete. Following that, I met with three of my future teammates as a panel interview, which was a lot of fun. Finally, I met with the recruiter over the phone, who provided a soft offer.
