Pros

Decent pay Good benefits Nice to have a large tech company in AZ Good place to build experience

Cons

Company culture went downhill because of the buy out/IPO. Most long-term managers forced out. Massive cronyism with new management. In the old days the company was very good about promoting from within. Not anymore. Tons of new hires at the VP+ level so them and their bros can cash out on the IPO. Tech departments are very bureaucratic. If you figure out a better way to do something, good for you, no one is listening. Massive technical debt that no one upstairs cares about paying. Well, if they do care, no one will give you the resources to do anything about it. I almost forgot. The performance review process is arbitrary and upper management manipulates it to avoid giving raises. Reviews can get downgraded if your team/department has "too many" good reviews. Preemptive rebuttal: I know this is true about reviews, I witnessed it firsthand.

First of all Thanks for your feedback. We do take them seriously. Since I joined almost 4 years ago I did see a lot of transformation at GoDaddy, I can say that we have improved on several fronts but there is always opportunity to continue to improve. I would like to briefly address a few points from your feedback. We have actually reduced bureaucracy tremendously in several parts of engineering life and added a lot of velocity on development to major products. Today an engineer is empowered to push to production several times a day, no approval queues, no tickets, all automatic. Of course, not all Products are at this level, but this is the direction we are going as a company. We take performance reviews and feedback on that process very seriously and the end goal is to always help our employees achieve the next level on their careers and continue to improve and learn. I would love to hear more from you on your experience if possible.

Great benefits, cool people (not including leadership)

Cons

- You'll be worked like a slave, told when you can take your breaks and lunches. - Boy's Club. If you're in it, you can get away with lying to customers, breaking company policy, and basically whatever you want. If you're not part of it, watch your back, you'll be hyper-scrutinized for every action you take. - Commissions are capped, so top performers are limited. - This is not a true sales job, you are taking inbound customer service calls and will be expected to do technical support and deal with escalated inbound customers. - Much of the job has been outsourced to a Business Partner Organization (BPO) in the Philippines. Because they aren't true GoDaddy employees, they are allowed to operate like the wild wild west. Lying to customers, selling them duplicate products, deleting things from their accounts and reselling them the same product. Basically a complete legal nightmare... but you aren't allowed to complain about it and you are expected to fix all the problems they create.
