GoDaddy's culture got ruined as soon as Aman became the CEO. The stock stagnated for several years until he pleased the shareholders by cutting costs AKA laying off good engineers and promoting managers AKA people who tell a good story and not necessarily have technical chops. He thinks he has innovated on "experimentation" and keeps bringing it up whereas the ideas and the technical decisions were done before his time. Aman and the upper management always says the right things to please people such as showing sympathies during covid times or wars but he is really 2 faced when it comes to actually taking care of the employees. He will lie to your face and say the opposite to shareholders basically say the right thing to please the audience. Management has decided not to hire folks from WA to justify not paying high wage where himself, head of HR, about roughly 20 directors/VP (if not more) are from Kirkland and Sunnyvale. If they were to let go themselves, they are equivalent to salary of 100 plus engineers who can add value. All the good employees have either been laid off or left and the people there left are folks from Canada, Colombia and India and parts of US where cost of living is low AKA cheap engineers and highly paid executives living in mansion in Seattle/Sunnyvale.
As I said, I have lost faith in management and lost faith in Aman who is only there to please starboard. Employee morale has plummeted and they're only here because the economy is bad. As soon as the tide turns, don't expect good people to stick around. All this wouldn't matter to Aman and his cohorts since he has already done his job by 2x the value of stock whereas revenue and growth has stagnated. Aman would also jump the ship showing the value of stock as his success. What a shame of a CEO!
