Always downhill

Pros

Allot of the people I work with here are amazing individuals

Cons

Godaddy used to care about their employees however since they have gone public every dept is going downhill fast. I have been told I am replaceable several times which is against their so called, "Culture." Since they have gone public Go Daddy looks to pinch pennies anywhere they can and it seems evident that all they care about is money now and the bottom line. Minimal care for quality, customers, or even employees.

We appreciate your candid feedback, it's disappointing to hear that you're seeing negative changes at GoDaddy. We work hard to make sure that customers and employees are both front and center for decisions made - leveraging our 'Voice of Customer' and internal 'GoDaddy Voice' feedback. As a company, GoDaddy is well above average with our spending on employees and benefits, with the belief that happy employees drive better customer outcomes at all levels. My ask, please share your concerns and ideas with your managers and leaders. If you don't feel positive changes are underway after that, please engage me as well and we'll work to make things better for customers and our employees.

Thanks for the feedback, I'm encouraged to hear you found GoDaddy a good company in Arizona to work for. It's disappointing to hear of the stress you encountered on the Web Design team. Our goal is to ensure we have a culture of 'work hard, play hard' with all the accountability and freedoms that go along with this. To help, a new development we've recently rolled out are 'job levels' across some of our roles. We believe this will help ensure employees start in a role in which they succeed (Level 1), then as skills and abilities grow they can move to the next level when ready and an opening is present - and continue in their career (Level 2+). We believe this career progression will be a benefit to the team as they master their craft, and reduce stress levels as more difficult sites/builds can route to higher levels.

The design team is hardly a creative department

Pros

Company paid benefits Subsidized meals Paid holidays

Cons

Multiple layoffs that have resulted in employees not feeling safe at work. Designers do not have the ability to be creative and the role has been changed to fix websites that are all outsourced to multiple vendors and completing updates/revisions to sites. No career pathing for web designers after the senior designer team was eliminated. If you have agency experience this is not the job for you. Upper management does not listen to the employees when the employees are the ones who have useful and insightful feedback on how to improve the department and overall customer experience.

Thank you for the feedback and concerns you've shared. In response to changes in the website industry and best practices we changed how we're structured and how we can use creativity to better serve our customers. We now leverage industry standard themes for WordPress and Woo vs. creating our own from scratch, which impacted the team that used to build these for us. We encouraged all impacted to consider other roles in the department and worked to place all interested. Our new approach has been better for customers as updates and support is present to keep sites performing, vs. having to attempt to support our own themes in a world of ever changing plugins and apps. We do strive to be creative and scrappy, and leverage the best technology when it comes to building sites that are awesome for our customers and help them active their objectives online. Our creativity is displayed in the current and future functionality we're able to bring to customers site, combined with great design, that we never could before.We have launched new career paths and teams involving higher degrees of web technical skills, and now feature career banding and training for our teams to be able to build these skills.
