Pros

This company is a great mix of big tech company and small enough to still feel connected to the mission and other employees. I think the compensation is fair for the job, stock options and yearly bonuses make a big difference in total comp. On-call rotation is fair and not overly demanding. Overall the company culture is very welcoming and open to new ideas and experiments.

Cons

It seems like the company is not prioritizing effort to have teams meet in person (ever). There are some year end parties but it is company wide and only available to employees who are already in the area. If you are not in one of the major hubs do not expect to meet your co-workers face-to-face.

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.
