Pros

The company had a bad reputation for their sexist super bowl ads and supporting SOPA a few years ago. I have to say it changed a lot and not only in surface. Recently I attended a "how to be a male ally in the workplace" training with the CEO, followed by a "LGBT 101" webinar a week later. The company matches donations year long, and even triples donations once a year. All middle management I had to deal with in engineering has been exceptional. Tolerant, open, listening. I currently have the best manager in my career. My team is composed of highly qualified people that inspire me and from who I can learn a lot. We are constantly adopting new technologies to make our lives easier as engineers. We don't rush work, we do good stuff.

Cons

I am not crazy inspired by the products I am working on. We're not making war weapons, but we're not saving the world either. It's pretty neutral. That said, I'd probably feel the same for about 95% of software being written out there. So it's not just a GoDaddy thing, it's more a capitalism thing :) Some of the engineering old guard is also being flaky sometimes, and a bit condescending. I wish they were more cooperative with us.

Pros

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.
