Impressive Tech Company

Senior software engineer

Business Outlook

Pros

Amazing infrastructure. GitHub Enterprise, OpenStack, Jira, Confluence, Jenkins and many others. Impressive Tech Stack (varies by team): Java, Docker, SaltStack, IntelliJ. I try to sprinkle in some python. Impressive upper management: Met them at the NEW employee orientation - they fly you out to AZ for a couple of days. All of them are super smart and really down to earth. It was fun hearing their stories.

Cons

There is a lot of legacy systems. Large projects can sometimes consume you. Pace is sometimes is a bit fast on the border of unsustainable at times, but is mostly pretty good.

GoDaddy Response

Appreciate the comments. Thanks to the infrastructure and tech stack investments you mentioned, the proportion of legacy systems is steadily diminishing.

Pros

The current management team has aggressively taken on changing the culture to to allow it to operate in the fast paced tech company it now is. Adoption of open source and open stack infrastructures has greatly expanded the opportunities inside the company. They are providing training tools and encouraging developers to grow and expand their skill sets. Adoption of Agile is working to allow developers to concentrate on the work at hand rather than the constant distractions that are normal in IT. They encourage the "fail fast" approach typical of internet startups, which leads to thinking outside the box, creative design discussions, and some pretty awesome solutions that will make millions of of peoples' experiences better. That's pretty exciting.

Cons

It takes time to change the culture of a 5000 person company and the word is not out to everyone. Fast pace and more of a thinking person's game. You'll need to hold up your end of the conversation when the ideas start flying during design or backlog refinement. It's not going to be the right environment for everybody.

GoDaddy Response

Thanks for taking the time to talk about GoDaddy. Really great points -- we've been working hard over the last couple of years to really bring about that change in the culture. You're absolutely right that it takes time but I think we're on a good trajectory. Also agree on your other points around technology and innovative solutions... it's been a lot of fun seeing that growth in the company. Thanks again for commenting! Jason Sr. Director, Software Development
