Hi there! Thanks for taking the time to leave this comment, it's very much appreciated. Love the advice... I'm a huge fan of promoting within and love the fact that we do give those opportunities to our employees. With all of the recent work done around career development and training, I think the future is bright for creating a continuing career at GoDaddy. Thanks again! Jason

Pros

Very family oriented Great mission of supporting small business owners around the globe Engaging and awesome culture Plenty to do Engineering Pros: Common Agile practices throughout company with solid training Open and diverse set of approved languages to work with Lots of problems to be solved with time and space to solve them. Awesome GoDaddy only tech conference every year with bi annual company hackathons

Cons

Varies by department and job. Lots of re-orgs but thankfully doesn't really effect the teams more fun for middle managers.

Thanks for sharing your experience at GoDaddy! It's great to hear that the development process and tools are enabling you to do your best work. As you know, the Kirkland location is growing quickly and that leads to great growth opportunities, though sometimes we re-org to make sure we have the best people in each role. We're glad to hear that it doesn't effect the team negatively. We aim to keep the communication train going with regular demo-fests and town hall meetings so that everyone can keep up with what is happening across the team and the company.

Preps you for working elsewhere

Pros

Dont let a lot of the positive reviews fool you. They are constantly required or bothering everyone to write these. The people are great and some of the work was challenging and I learned so much. The work life balance is actually top notch.The culture use to be employee focused. Benefits used to be the best in the valley, now we follow what others have been doing. Definitely preps you for working elsewhere.

Cons

Like any job you have to play the politics game. Salaries arent competitive any more. Internal promoting has fallen. Culture is slowly going away. Constant reorganizing makes me think that the company doesnt have a vision. Severe lack of recognition so much that many seniors have left for a reason. Not as much innovation as when under Parsons. There's a reason the stock hasn't taken off. Only follows any Silicon Valley trends instead of doing our own thing. Quite a few dead end teams. Many jobs moving to Seattle or SF instead of in PHX. Suffers from too many chiefs and too little braves. Turning in my 2 weeks soon.

Hi... sorry to see your comments, perhaps I'm not too late in reaching out to let you know there are some great things happening across the company, especially in the Phoenix area. I understand there can be some frustrating times but we are striving to make the right changes for the company and unfortunately change can be a bit unsettling. I've been with GoDaddy for 10+ years and couldn't be more excited about what's to come. In fact, my teams have 3 open positions at the moment as we grow our engineering teams to keep delivering great solutions for our customers. Feel free to reach out to me if you've got questions or concerns. Jason
