GoDaddy

Absolutely no egos or petty politics. I sat across from a Senior Director and in front of a VP (who reports directly to the CTO), and neither viewed me any differently because I was an intern. No meeting I attended had even the slightest hint of political bickering.

Extraordinary benefits and pay. All interns get free luxury housing, and those that work in Sunnyvale or Kirkland get free food too. However, even if you're not in those locations, there's subsidized lunch ($5 a meal) and always tons of snacks in the office. Coming to pay, it's definitely competitive with other companies (at least with respect to internships).

Remote OK. I worked from home about 3 weeks out of my 10 as an intern. Almost every team has a few people that are entirely remote (both US-based and international). WFH is fully integrated into GoDaddy. In fact, I doubt you could find the same level of work-life balance at any other company.

Extremely solid business. GoDaddy has $735M in annual free cash flow. Translation: this company is incredibly rich and won't be going away any time soon. So don't be worried about cash crunches or layoffs.

Lack of technically challenging work.

Let's face it, products for small businesses are not exactly cutting-edge work. Also, 99% of teams operate at the application layer (i.e., no infra-level work here).

That being said, all engineering teams do follow standard practices like code reviews, design discussions, agile, etc.

LeetCode interviews.

GoDaddy is one of the many companies that uses these algorithmic interviews, even though they have absolutely no relevance to the work you'll be doing on a day-to-day basis. Hopefully, this will change in the near future, but I wouldn't count on it.

End the LeetCode interview. Since interviewing is already done by the team (instead of generically like Google), tailor the interview to what the candidate would actually be working on on a day-to-day basis.
