Pros

pay is ok, offices are quite nice and remote is available if preferred

Cons

past few years so many leaders have left and culture is not in a good place. company is becoming more and more political with activists being promoted by leadership even if they are insulting to others. Teams are silo'd a lot... Even if you score high on an 9 box in mid-year and keep the pace up, you can be moved down with no real explanation, something akin to; "that's where most people are". not helpful, not even relevant to goals or your performance, just aggregated to fit the normal distribution. Poor management. Employees always told to consider total compensation when making comparisons (salary + bonus + equity). Equity has been questioned a lot but considering the how focal the HR department are leadership has had a hard time selling that as a plus when the share price has been stagnant for several years and in decline in real terms. So if you are getting a pay rise below inflation a bonus that is cut in half and share price hasn't moved the needle in 4 years I think its fair to say something needs to change to remain competitive.

Getting worse

Pros

These are becoming insignificant because the current senior management is so poor

Cons

One of the Senior Leadership Team sets the worst possible example. Never in the office until well after 9.30 and leaves at 4.30. Spends half the day outside vaping, I've seen him asleep on his office sofa (as has half the site) and leaves around 4.30. When us staff work so hard, this is a kick a in the teeth and then he struts around like he own's the place that he seems to know nothing about. However, when we have site visitors he's here at all hours, that is the only time. As soon as they disappear, so does he. Recently we had our commission structure changed so significantly that it has altered our quality of living. How was this announced???? It wasn't, I found out when I got my wage packet whilst Senior Management were too scared to communicate and hid in their office. Disgusting treatment of staff.

Pros

Good benefits. Good people. Flexible working.

Cons

After a very long time at GoDaddy I found it time to move on, I was there for almost 8 years and I really wanted to stay, to progress, to help the company move forward but the progression opportunities and salary were truly dreadful. Senior managers and directors are so far away from what happens on the ground. It’s ridiculous. I gave my all for this company for a long, long time. I genuinely regret staying for so long, I didn’t even get a ‘thank you for your hard work’ when I left, nothing, zilch, nada.
