Pros: Quite some time ago, I left a 2-star review and felt as though my time at GoDaddy would never last more than one year at most. I was probably mis-hired or misled, and that alone made me pretty upset. My working environment wasn't any better, and nothing about GoDaddy made me want to stay. I was thrown into a company that was, in many ways, in complete chaos, and I literally felt as though I had made the worst decision of my career. I immediately started looking for other jobs. I found a few but was hesitant to make the same mistake twice, so I never left. Here I am a few years later, and everything has changed. I've never been more happy, excited, and motivated working at any company as I am today. Some changes came slowly. For instance, Denver has a new office, better organization, and it slowly changed from an outcast little remote group to a growing hub of recognized professionals and leaders. I have for a while thought about revising my review. More recently, many drastic changes for the better have been made, and I must change this review to reflect what's really going on here. I think the biggest thing is that all roadblocks to individual and company success are being aggressively hunted down and destroyed by our leadership. GoDaddy is poised for something great to happen, and I feel fortunate to be a part of it. Aside from the working environment being drastically improved, here are a few other things that are great: * 4 days off a year for company-sponsored team-building events * Regular free food and drinks * Game room, relaxation areas with TVs, etc. * No dress code * Better benefits, health, and growing financial incentives * Employee-paid education, certifications, etc. * Up-to-date hardware * Adoption of industry standards, agile dev approach, and very cutting-edge, aggressive technology adoption * A new vacation policy that is by far the best I've seen or heard of at any company in any industry. Literally, when I tell my friends, they think I'm joking. GoDaddy is poised with new management to be the next big thing. Our new CEO has a wonderful vision and new direction. Some of this was revealed in his latest interview, which you can easily find available via a quick search. I'm not sure what all I'm at liberty to say, so I'll just leave it at this: At least interview here. It's worth your time!

Cons: You still have to actually work. :) There are some long hours ahead and major growth. That could be a con. However, I think most people are very motivated and feel it will be worth it. A caution: GoDaddy is still a bit of a startup environment in many ways. They are less structured than, say, a large engineering firm or government tech contractor that has been around for the last 30-60 years. Some people really need that structure, and those people generally leave before long. I wouldn't say GoDaddy is unstructured, but they focus first and foremost on getting things done and removing roadblocks. Also, there are still things that need improving, as I'm sure our management staff is aware. Titles are the one thing that comes to mind. This has changed in some departments already, but titles aren't very industry standard, like: Dev, Senior Dev, Senior Dev II, etc., etc.

Pros: Great place to work as entry-level.

Cons: Lots of recent layoffs company-wide.

Pros: Good teammates to work with.

Cons: Have a low salary range.
