Pros

Mature organisation, good salaries and stock, relevant technical work.

Cons

Lots of red tape, most of it needed I guess, as a listed company. Things more very slowly.

Pros

I work in the IST timezone. The culture here is positive — colleagues are supportive and efforts are recognized. The work environment is healthy, and I can clearly see the impact of my contributions. The company offers flexibility with WFO/WFH options and encourages working with the latest technologies, which helps with career growth. ESOPs and ESPP benefits are a plus. Compensation is decent to good overall.

Cons

The office is newly built but currently lacks a fun zone or an in-house canteen/snack facility. There are also no travel allowances or cab services provided, and in-person fun events are limited.

GoDaddy Response

Thank you for the feedback! At GoDaddy, we encourage all teammates to bring their true selves to work and provide feedback that will help us grow as a company. We value and consider all feedback to help us continue to evaluate and improve the #GoDaddyLife.
