GoDaddy reviews

Aman and the current leadership has more or less gutted the company for quick profit. Profits have shot through the roof, but they've laid off so many people that even teams like Authentication barely have enough employees to keep the lights on (Auth has only 2 backend engineers). It's been sad to watch this company disintegrate from within. 3 years ago I was recommending it to everyone as an awesome place to work, but that has changed so quickly it's shocking. My individual manager is great, but I talk to him about what is going on above him and it's dog eat dog. Infighting, leaders constantly backstabbing each other. Most of the leadership who were pro-employee and pro-culture have left to "spend more time with family" besides one person - and he was removed from his job and, quite literally, put onto the task of figuring out what tools and benefits they should cut to save money. That was his announced job - figure out how to cut tools and benefits. The last year has seen them cutting good, useful tools across the board and replacing them with tools that are worse in most capacities, but are cheap. This has resulted in a lots of time spent tool jumping, and reduced capabilities for their employees. Run away.

Just thinking about the place gives me a ton of anxiety so.... Yep, it's a call center - loud, uncomfortable, unhealthy, impossible to not bring the stress home. Corporate is always hired externally. The days of internal promotions into corporate are over. If you are in sales, you will always be in sales. Only 2 15min breaks and a 30min lunch. Otherwise you are OBLIGATED to be on the phones for 7hours and 24minutes. If you dip beneath this average for long enough you are fired. That's always fun to watch management chitchat/watch movies in their office/take 2 hour lunches all day when you can't even move!! That being said, leadership loves to initiate witchhunts - especially towards more intelligent, higher performing people. The losers up top want to keep their cushy positions! You will get burnt out very fast - I've heard of multiple suicides/sudden deaths over the past 2 years. Someone left the Tempe building on his lunch one day and blew his head off. Other people just drop dead. The customers are "special" and are getting more entitled by the month. Have fun getting screamed at by someone who thinks you are their slave because they bought something for $12. You have to get permission to leave your desk to ask questions. Like in kindergarten. Have fun buying new clothes for the inevitable 10-50lb weight gain. Lots of people come to work high because it's so stressful. HR is completely worthless. Most of the time it's better to read through the policies and do your own research. If you are a woman, forget getting promoted into leadership unless you play the game really well (or are willing to be in an entry level position for 3x as long as the guys).
