Pros

- Sound company direction and experienced management - Good pay - Fantastic flexibility - Concerted engineering effort to move more and more towards true global scalability

Cons

Godaddy is almost 2 different companies, the engineering side and the sales & support side. Almost all the negative comments are from the latter, which is understandable because sales & support is always really tough.

Thank you so much for taking the time to leave your review. We are so happy that you are enjoying your role here and thanks for 5 amazing years! Here's to 5 more! While the company can sometimes seem like 2, with the breakdown of technical departments versus customer care, we are unified as one!

A company that grew on me!

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.

Good place to work, but still some growing pains

Pros

Results oriented. If you are capable and work hard, you will get ahead. Company has grown every year, even during recession. Excellent benefits.

Cons

Growing pains still an issue. Short-term result orientation not good for long term planning. Some infrastructure and product issues as a consequence.

Thank you for your feedback, and good to see that you notice that hard work is rewarded. Our rate of growth has definitely caused some growing pains, but true to our result-oriented DNA, we are constantly striving to improve the infrastructure as well as ensure leadership is aligned around a cohesive strategy.
