Pluspunten

Absolutely no egos or petty politics - I sat across from a Senior Director and in front of a VP (who reports directly to the CTO), and neither viewed me any differently because I was an intern. No meeting I attended had even the slightest hint of political bickering. Extraordinary benefits and pay - All interns get free luxury housing and those that work in Sunnyvale or Kirkland get free food too. However, even if you're not in those locations, there's subsidized lunch ($5 a meal) and always tons of snacks in the office. Coming to pay, it's definitely competitive with other companies (at least with respect to internships). RemoteOK - I worked from home about 3 weeks out my 10 as an intern. Almost every team has a few people that are entirely remote (both US-based and international). WFH is fully integrated into GoDaddy. In fact, I doubt you could find the same level of work-life balance at any other company. Extremely solid business - GoDaddy has $735M in annual free cash flow. Translation: this company is incredibly rich and won't be going away any time soon. So don't be worried about cash crunches or layoffs.

Minpunten

Lack of technically challenging work - Let's face it, products to small businesses is not exactly cutting-edge work. Also, 99% of teams operate at the application layer (i.e. no infra-level work here). That being said, all engineering teams do follow standard practices like code reviews, design discussions, agile, etc... Leetcode interviews - GoDaddy is one of the many companies that uses these algorithmic interviews even though they have absolutely no relevance to the work you'll be doing on a day-to-day basis. Hopefully this will change in the near future, but I wouldn't count on it.

Pluspunten

I've been with this company now for 10 years and I love it. It's a fantastic place to work. There's plenty of venues for assistance if you need help of any kind. The hours are reasonable and flexible. I had all my children during my tenure with GoDaddy and the support, time off and accommodations were nothing short of outstanding. I love the team I work with. There's a lot of room for growth and internal opportunities. The leadership here is unlike anywhere I've worked previously. GoDaddy has an eye for leadership talent and it shows. Overall, I love the company I work for.

Minpunten

I wouldn't say it's a 'con' but opportunities for growth require initiative, Expanding your comfort zone and getting to know people really help.

Great benefits, cool people (not including leadership)

Minpunten

- You'll be worked like a slave, told when you can take your breaks and lunches. - Boy's Club. If you're in it, you can get away with lying to customers, breaking company policy, and basically whatever you want. If you're not part of it, watch your back, you'll be hyper-scrutinized for every action you take. - Commissions are capped, so top performers are limited. - This is not a true sales job, you are taking inbound customer service calls and will be expected to do technical support and deal with escalated inbound customers. - Much of the job has been outsourced to a Business Partner Organization (BPO) in the Philippines. Because they aren't true GoDaddy employees, they are allowed to operate like the wild wild west. Lying to customers, selling them duplicate products, deleting things from their accounts and reselling them the same product. Basically a complete legal nightmare... but you aren't allowed to complain about it and you are expected to fix all the problems they create.
