This place creeped me out. I was contacted via a Go Daddy recruiter for a position. The salary discussion was a little above industry standard, so a face-to-face interview was scheduled.

I arrived at the Go Daddy HQ, located in the Scottsdale Airpark, and the first thing I immediately noticed was that this didn't look like your typical corporate HQ. It was in a single-story office suite, typically reserved for doctors, lawyers, or payday loan services. Walking into the lobby, you are greeted with a security guard behind a metal cage and several security cameras pointed at you. It seemed just a little different for what should be a high-tech company.

I was met by the recruiter, and he had me do an IQ test to test for "basic skills." The test was elementary school level, which made me suspicious of the typical Go Daddy hire. Afterwards, I was taken for a tour of the building. Two things to mention: the facility was in really poor shape, where I was constantly seeing water damage, and they had some prospective "Go Daddy girl" that they were parading around the office. While I think the commercials used to be funny, this was the part of the interview that really skeeved me out. A bunch of acne faces and greasy hair practically groping and posing with the prospective "Go Daddy girl."

Anyway, on to the actual interview. Yeah, I'm sure my misgivings were fairly obvious to the panel, but it was quickly apparent that I was more qualified than the hiring manager for his role. At one point, I questioned the manager when he was describing a project they were working on and asked him why they were deviating from best practices. When the manager tried to play it off that I had just answered his question by knowing that, one of his reports started chuckling. Yeah, it didn't go well. No offer. And the annoying thing was they never contacted me regarding my status afterwards.
