A number of former coworkers have joined them here in Seattle, and it sounds like a pretty great place to work. I hear they're also great about letting people work on side projects.
I work for GoDaddy in the Office 365 Provisioning Team in Tempe, AZ. Our team's stack is Ember + some React / PHP + node / Linux... all running on OpenStack instances.
I think it's a great place to work... lots of interesting projects, nice people, wonderful work / life balance. (I just got three months off for Paternity leave, for instance.)
I can personally confirm the side project thing as well :)
I worked at Godaddy in Sunnyvale for about 8-9 months, and left recently (for personal reasons unreleated to the job). It was a great place to be, the leadership was very down to earth and aware of the business, and the work-life balance was great. In addition, the pay was good, the benefits and perks were reasonable (but not awesome). Teams were encouraged and backed to try out new tech they felt was helpful (vs having to go through a process). I also worked with some super smart people. Also, if it matters to you, I thought it was refreshing the way they acknowledged diversity issues internally, and how they approach hiring. I recommend it as a great place to work, especially on the non-infrastructure teams.
