OT: GoDaddy Isn’t the Company You Think It Is (article title)

[Keith Smith]

I can tell you that in 2004 Godaddy was a rough place to work.  The 
company culture was the worst of any I have worked in.  I would 
characterize Godaddy as predatory. Obviously this move is market driven 
not coming from Bob Parsons.  If this was of Parson's principles he 
would have built a different company early on.  It's all fluff intended 
to increase market share.  That stain is going to be hard to remove.

When asked about that first Super Bowl ad, I told my manager that I 
thought the company could represent itself better. That response almost 
got me fired.

In all fairness I would say most companies are all about self.  Look at 
Wells Fargo in California.

On the positive side, I learned a lot during that year at GoDaddy.  
Skills I use to this day.
