Pros

- Great culture and team members - Meaningful work - Great benefits, equity plan and ESPP - Unlimited PTO is a huge plus

Cons

- Marketing department is massive, with no real reason why - Attrition has never been higher - Engineering teams will need to find new ways to retain and hire new talent.

Pros

I am able to be my best self in the environment I work in. I am encouraged to ask questions and come up with solutions to problems - often the identification of a problem doesn't have a clearly prescribed solution - My leadership allows me to be proactive and come up with more ideal solutions than 'just what works'.

Cons

This is a large company, and mileage may vary. Bringing your best self should be a requirement for all positions in all companies.

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
