Pros

Mature organisation, good salaries and stock, relevant technical work.

Cons

Lots of red tape, most of it needed I guess, as a listed company. Things more very slowly.

Outsourcing and greed is destroying the once great culture of GoDaddy

Pros

Pros of working at GoDaddy in the beginning (now long gone as of mid-2024): Good pay and solid benefits that made me feel taken care of Fun, caring culture where I actually felt valued by the company Friendly US-based teams and supportive managers who had my back Easy tools and happy customers that made my job way less stressful All those values that made GoDaddy a great place to work have been completely wiped out by corporate greed, heavy outsourcing, and a total lack of consideration for the employees who were actually making them money.

Cons

Cons of working at GoDaddy as of mid-2024 (what replaced the old good stuff): Low pay with shrinking benefits and commissions that make you feel undervalued and stressed Toxic, fear-based culture driven by corporate greed where employees are treated like disposable costs Heavy outsourcing to cheap overseas teams with unsupportive managers who throw you under the bus Angry, frustrated customers and broken tools that make every day exhausting and way more stressful All those old values that made GoDaddy a great place to work have been completely wiped out by corporate greed, heavy outsourcing, and a total lack of consideration for the employees who are actually making them money
