Pros

Cool office, the people are great

Cons

You’ll spend most of your time selling upgrades to people who don’t actually need them. Customers annoyed because they have been blown up constantly by the last 10 people who had your job

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.

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'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.
