Pros

Has a good balance of fostering collaboration while still celebrating individual contributions.

Cons

A lot of changes happening with re-orgs and a new a CEO, but it looks like things will settle down soon.

Pros

The culture, the people, and the mission all work really well together. As a software engineer there are plenty of resources and enterprise level assets behind me, but at the same time, I'm encouraged to take chances, learn on the job, and generally just be happy with what I'm doing. GoDaddy really focuses on making us feel comfortable at work. They provide an awesome lunch every day, they have super sexy modern offices with ergo everything including standup desks. Agile is a HUGE focus for engineering and it's actually practiced and applied in the correct way, not just having a "standup" every morning. Decisions for the most part really feel like they come from a current objective and sound horizontal structure. The last thing I'd say is that the management culture is fantastic. My boss is one of many development managers I know that just kicks butt. He's super respectful and supportive while also driving us to succeed, all while being a great friend in the work place.

Cons

The only cons I can think of have to do with the rapid growth of the company. As more and more people are hired as we grow, I think that it dilutes the growth of the culture by a small amount. I'm really grasping for straws here though, as I've worked for Amazon, Microsoft, and a few startup companies. GoDaddy by far is the best enterprise work experience I've ever had. I literally thank my lucky stars every day that I have my job.

Hi there, Thanks for your feedback, we are glad that you are having a great experience at GoDaddy and more importantly having an impact on our products and on our customer's experience. About your advice, we take that very seriously, an important part of our hiring process is on trying to identify the values that our candidates really care about and if they are in sync with our company values. Candidates should also have empathy for our customer's problems, this is as important as the specific technical skills they may have.
