I had the chance to do significant interviews with DO for a senior position, and it made me so skeptical. They seem more interested in the shortest path to an inflated IPO than in basic investment in their product offerings. They also seemed overly bureaucratic for a company of their size / type. A lot of decision making and investment on the tech side seemed to roll up to a particular business operations executive who talked about buzzwords and seemed like he thinks TED talks are reality. In other parts of the interview, people explained to me how there was some prescriptive slide deck with 30+ slides on all the minutiae of how Agile would work for a certain team. Brainfucked with process and not informed by engineering experts.
To top all that off, their compensation offer was way below market, no bonus, and very poor equity terms, all after telling me they were very excited to hire me. It really seemed like a bleak place.
