DigitalOcean Inclusion & Diversity

DigitalOcean fosters an inclusive, global workplace where employees can collaborate with colleagues from a wide range of backgrounds and experiences. Employees say this diversity of perspectives strengthens teamwork, broadens their understanding of different cultures and helps them grow both personally and professionally.

“I love the diversity in our working environment and the diversity in our employees. It’s really great to have different perspectives, and, as a global company, I get to learn a lot about other people’s cultures, which is also awesome.”

DigitalOcean supports an inclusive workplace by creating year-round opportunities for LGBTQ+ employees and allies to connect, learn and help shape a more equitable organization. Employees say the company encourages open dialogue through discussion groups, social events and initiatives that strengthen belonging while continuing to improve support for the queer community.

“While we recognize the importance of Pride Month, it is only one month out of the entire year. So throughout the year, we do many structured and informal activities. We have a quarterly culture club where each person comes prepared to discuss anything queer including news, articles, books, movies and even personal stories. This creates larger conversations and dialogue that anyone can participate in. We also host social activities that give us the opportunity to just hang out and chat. Lastly, in line with our Change pillar, we want to help DO continue to grow and improve wherever possible to further our support for the queer community, such as trying to participate in the Human Rights Campaign’s Corporate Equality Index or hosting roundtables for people to discuss issues in a timely manner.”
