Pros: Great culture. Helpful people who want to see you succeed.

Cons: VPs have this weird competition, and some are known to step on each other.

Pros: Remote work-life balance, and purely as a springboard into something else.

Cons: GoDaddy used to be a wonderful company to work for. However, due to private equity, it has turned into a cesspool. If you live in North America, your job will be at risk due to the current climate of replacing people with AI and cheaper market contractors.

Pros: The current management team has aggressively taken on changing the culture to allow it to operate in the fast-paced tech company it now is. Adoption of open source and open stack infrastructures has greatly expanded the opportunities inside the company. They are providing training tools and encouraging developers to grow and expand their skill sets. Adoption of Agile is working to allow developers to concentrate on the work at hand rather than the constant distractions that are normal in IT. They encourage the "fail fast" approach typical of internet startups, which leads to thinking outside the box, creative design discussions, and some pretty awesome solutions that will make millions of people's experiences better. That's pretty exciting.

Cons: It takes time to change the culture of a 5,000-person company, and the word is not out to everyone. It's a fast pace and more of a thinking person's game. You'll need to hold up your end of the conversation when the ideas start flying during design or backlog refinement. It's not going to be the right environment for everybody.
