Mid Size Company, Amazing Culture, No Jerks - Software Development Engineer GoDaddy Employee Review

Pros

The culture, the people, and the mission all work really well together. As a software engineer there are plenty of resources and enterprise level assets behind me, but at the same time, I'm encouraged to take chances, learn on the job, and generally just be happy with what I'm doing. GoDaddy really focuses on making us feel comfortable at work. They provide an awesome lunch every day, they have super sexy modern offices with ergo everything including standup desks. Agile is a HUGE focus for engineering and it's actually practiced and applied in the correct way, not just having a "standup" every morning. Decisions for the most part really feel like they come from a current objective and sound horizontal structure. The last thing I'd say is that the management culture is fantastic. My boss is one of many development managers I know that just kicks butt. He's super respectful and supportive while also driving us to succeed, all while being a great friend in the work place.

Cons

The only cons I can think of have to do with the rapid growth of the company. As more and more people are hired as we grow, I think that it dilutes the growth of the culture by a small amount. I'm really grasping for straws here though, as I've worked for Amazon, Microsoft, and a few startup companies. GoDaddy by far is the best enterprise work experience I've ever had. I literally thank my lucky stars every day that I have my job.

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.
