Hello and thank you for taking the time to share your experience thus far at WP Engine. We're glad to hear you're enjoying our culture and the people you get to work with each day, as that's core to so much of what we do! In regards to career development, within Sales we offer a self-taught program we call "path to success", where employees have the chance to up skill asynchronously with support of their manager. We've recently made more investments in tools and bespoke training programs to ensure different topics and skillsets are being covered throughout the year. We also offer the chance to shadow colleagues to learn more about what skills you might need to move up within the organization over time. We're always looking for ways to improve these programs and offer even more opportunities for people to grow and develop skills at WP Engine. If you haven't already done so, we'd encourage you to speak with your manager so that you can share your experience and explore development programs already available to you. Additionally, your Employee Experience Business Partner is always available to learn more about your goals and aspirations and note your feedback on things we can do to support these efforts even more going forward. Thanks again for taking the time share your experience!

Pros

Lots of support from management. I always felt like I was heard. Plenty of support from my teammates. The CEO is an amazing person.

Cons

Customers only reach out because there are issues with their sites; causing them to be upset most of the time. Tough job if you are not used to remote work.

We appreciate you taking the time to share such a thoughtful review. While we're glad you had an overall positive experience in regards to feeling supported by your manager, teammates, and feel Heather, our CEO is an amazing person. We agree! We are sorry to hear you didn't feel like there were opportunities for promotions. We know you no longer work here at WP Engine, but if you have any other thoughts you'd like to share so that we can learn more about what could've gone better, you're welcome to reach out to anybody on our Employee Experience Team to do so. Thank you again and we wish you the best in future endeavors.

Pros

Remote. Great people. Decent benefits. Nice work/life balance.

Cons

Subpar pay. Lack of career growth and stability. Upper management and leadership are heavily disconnected from the core product. They want to "AI" their core platform just because everybody else is doing it but they have no clear direction / solution that makes sense. They sign contracts for services that they don't vet fully and cause headaches for tech support. They mask "reorgs" with surprise layoffs.

We appreciate your candid feedback, and the time you took to leave a review. We're glad to hear you had a positive experience with colleagues, our remote-first culture, work-life balance, and benefits. Those are all important parts of the employee experience, and we're pleased they stood out. We're also appreciate your view on where you feel we fell short. Feedback about compensation, career growth, leadership connection, and organizational change are meaningful, even when they're difficult to hear. While we can't comment on specific business decisions, we appreciate your perspective. Thank you again for telling us about your experience at WP Engine.
