Pros: Decent pay. Good benefits. Nice to have a large tech company in AZ. Good place to build experience.

Cons: Company culture went downhill because of the buyout/IPO. Most long-term managers were forced out. There was massive cronyism with new management. In the old days, the company was very good about promoting from within. Not anymore. Tons of new hires at the VP+ level so they and their bros can cash out on the IPO. Tech departments are very bureaucratic. If you figure out a better way to do something, good for you, no one is listening. There is massive technical debt that no one upstairs cares about paying. Well, if they do care, no one will give you the resources to do anything about it. I almost forgot. The performance review process is arbitrary, and upper management manipulates it to avoid giving raises. Reviews can get downgraded if your team/department has "too many" good reviews. Preemptive rebuttal: I know this is true about reviews; I witnessed it firsthand.

Pros: GoDaddy is a place where, when people leave, they often come back. I've seen it time and time again over the years. I appreciate the culture and "work/life balance" as a core company value. Employees are encouraged to make use of the FTO benefit (Flexible Time Off - unlimited PTO as long as it works well for the team). The current CEO (Aman B) sets a great tone. I love the strong "Customer first" focus. Benefits are good. World leader in its domain (pun intended). Skilled tech talent, great training, and growth opportunity. Supporting fully remote engineers more and more.

Cons: Base salary can be a bit less than some of the tech giants, as GoDaddy focuses on the total compensation package relative to location/market. However, it's still competitive and offers lots of internal growth opportunities.

Pros: Good work-life balance will have.

Cons: Ad hoc work and micromanagement
