Cons

1. Product vision could have been better 2. The "senior leadership" (the executive team) at times were harsh. 3. Any person (whether you're a director or VP) if you challenged the decision of the "senior leadership" team, you were laid off.

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.
