Pros

There are many opportunities working at GoDaddy. The company has grown quickly over the years and is still in catch-up mode when it comes to IT, infrastructure and product development. If you're a motivated go-getter, you can really succeed here by identifying opportunities, developing solutions, and driving them to completion. GoDaddy is very customer focused and is always trying to identify product opportunities to help small businesses succeed. Great engineering culture with talented and energized people. Benefits are amazing.

Cons

A lot of tech debt to overcome and work around. Gaining alignment between teams is difficult. Teams are sometimes overworked, forced to over-commit and therefore have little time to help out others to achieve larger strategic initiatives. You have to be very proactive about forcing management to make trade-offs. Management does attempt to provide prioritization but it's hard to prioritize when everything is a priority.

Thanks for your feedback, we are indeed growing quickly and I am glad that you see the opportunities that brings to all of us. As part of any major transformation, there will always be technical debt we need to kill and it is some times difficult to balance paying the debt vs adding new features. We are better and continue to improve but I hear you, and I can assure you we will fix these issues. Please reach out to me or one of the engineering leaders, I would love to hear your suggestions. I am based in Sunnyvale and you can find me on Slack as well.

Pros

Great benefits, cool people (not including leadership)

Cons

- You'll be worked like a slave, told when you can take your breaks and lunches. - Boy's Club. If you're in it, you can get away with lying to customers, breaking company policy, and basically whatever you want. If you're not part of it, watch your back, you'll be hyper-scrutinized for every action you take. - Commissions are capped, so top performers are limited. - This is not a true sales job, you are taking inbound customer service calls and will be expected to do technical support and deal with escalated inbound customers. - Much of the job has been outsourced to a Business Partner Organization (BPO) in the Philippines. Because they aren't true GoDaddy employees, they are allowed to operate like the wild wild west. Lying to customers, selling them duplicate products, deleting things from their accounts and reselling them the same product. Basically a complete legal nightmare... but you aren't allowed to complain about it and you are expected to fix all the problems they create.
