Interviewed Oct 2011 in Tempe, AZ (took 2 weeks)

Group interview with Thurstone Mental Awareness test (which wasn't that hard, but some people managed to fail), then I was offered, as were a few others, the option to interview the same day instead of coming back a week or so later, so I took them up on that. A few days later, I was getting a few phone calls working out shift times, accepting the offer, taking a drug test, getting my background check completed, and presto... now I'm in!

Interviewed Aug 2011 in Gilbert, AZ (took 2 days)

Everyone here is drinking the coolaid, which isn't a bad thing if you want to dive into too. This company isn't popular and successful for no reason! It took more than a month after applying for me to be invited to the group interview. The group interview was mostly HR talking to you and then you take a 10 mc question customer service test and technical test. After that you take the thurston which basically tests how fast you process knowledge, it is a lot of questions in a short time frame, so go fast! They grade the tests their and let you know if you make it to the 1:1 interview. That interview went well, laid back funny HR lady made a technical interview seem like fun. She asks the basic interview questions plus more technical questions. I knew in about 8 days that I made it to the training process. But the training didn't start for 2 more months, which I thought was a really big draw back.

Interviewed Apr 2011 (took 3 months)

Multiple interviews with several people taking over 3 months to complete. I felt it went very well with most interviewers but it obviously did not go well with some because in the end I was told by email that I was not going to be given an offer. I wish that I had gotten more information about why that decision was made but did not have my phone calls returned.

Interviewed Sep 2011 (took 2 days)

You attend an informational session where they describe benefits and give you 3 tests. There's a godaddy culture test (what do you think of their ads etc), a 10 question IT skills test (what's a cookie, what does an ssl certificate do, name a blog creation software (like wordpress), name an ISP), and a 126 question intelligence test that you have 22 minutes to complete and must answer at least 65 correct. If you score >65 you get offered an interview.

The interview was mostly about IT technical questions. Name 2 ISPs, what makes a strong password, what is an FTP, what services does godaddy offer, what is an IP address, what is the most useful sales concept/technic for this type of job.

If you are offered a job you do a 2 week training course before you answer calls.

Interviewed Apr 2011 in Gilbert, AZ (took a day)

They had me take a pretty dumb IQ/intelligence test with a large number of questions and limited time. Then I was given a simple problem to solve. When I solved the problem in about 30 seconds the interviewer falsely accused me of already being acquainted it.

Interview Questions

You have been given two pieces of flammable rope. The speed at which each individual rope can burn is inconsistent, but if you light the end with a match, the short rope will take 30 minutes to burn and the long rope takes an hour. How can you used the ropes to determine when 45 minutes have passed?

Interviewed Aug 2011 in Gilbert, AZ (took 2 weeks)

I applied online and had a call back within a week for a phone interview, they asked some basic technical questions and some "what would you do in this situation" type questions. A week later I was called into a face-to-face interview with some of the lead technicians where they gave me an IQ test and a written technical exam (not too difficult). All the people that I had contact with at GoDaddy were very professional and easy to talk to, all in all a good experience.

Interviewed Oct 2010 in Scottsdale, AZ (took 3 days)

Group interview process involving team lead, another developer and development manager. Asked questions about my development skills in general, past projects, and why I wanted to join the team. I know from past experience that certain developers have a penchant for asking difficult 'riddle' style questions, but I didn't get asked any of these type of questions during my interview.

Negotiation Details

Almost nothing - it was an internal position doing the same thing for a different group. When applying for the same job, it seems like nothing is up for negotiation -- only the position itself.

Interviewed May 2011 in Cedar Rapids, IA (took 2 days)

I applied online and then was emailed to come in for an orientation. At the orientation they talk about all the benefits of the company and then you have to take 2 quizzes and then a mental awareness test. The fisrt quiz was easy and just asked commons sense questions. The 2nd quiz was some technical questions. These are questions like what is an example of a blog and then there are 4 answers to choose from. The the hard part is the test and there were 120 questions and it is timed and u only have 10 secs a question. You have to pass by a certain amount to get an interview. Then once you pass you get an interview. At the interview I was asked mostly technical and sales questions.
