Pros: Can't speak to the post-layoff era, but before getting laid off, this was a great company to work for. Helpful and genuine coworkers, great work-life balance, high-impact projects, enjoyable technology stack, and unlimited PTO. It will be missed.

Cons: Currently lacks job security. Executives laid off 8% of the company despite a stable stock price. Trust in top leadership has diminished.

Pros: Flex time for vacation is nice.

Cons: Depending on the team you are on, leadership can be absolutely awful. Blatant favoritism runs rampant throughout the company, and incompetence is par for the course. The worst part is there is no recourse. Management will do whatever they can to cover themselves, even blatantly lie. HR is of little to no use either.

Pros: There are many opportunities working at GoDaddy. The company has grown quickly over the years and is still in catch-up mode when it comes to IT, infrastructure, and product development. If you're a motivated go-getter, you can really succeed here by identifying opportunities, developing solutions, and driving them to completion. GoDaddy is very customer-focused and is always trying to identify product opportunities to help small businesses succeed. Great engineering culture with talented and energized people. Benefits are amazing.

Cons: A lot of tech debt to overcome and work around. Gaining alignment between teams is difficult. Teams are sometimes overworked, forced to over-commit, and therefore have little time to help others achieve larger strategic initiatives. You have to be very proactive about forcing management to make trade-offs. Management does attempt to provide prioritization, but it's hard to prioritize when everything is a priority.
