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.

Advice to Management

Senior management is somewhat disconnected from the day-to-day challenges.

Dive in with teams, understand their challenges, and provide teams with the time and resources to make needed investments.
