Pros

WP Engine invests a lot of time and money into ensuring that their new starters are trained and educated before starting their roles as well as providing continued education and training sessions to help further our product and industry knowledge. There are lots of opportunities to progress your career at WP Engine and management works with you to ensure you are placed in a role that works to your personal strengths. Even though Brisbane is a smaller (almost start up) office, there is room to grow and move around depending on what you want to do! This company puts family first, they truly understand how important this is and offer the flexibility you need. As a parent, I haven't been made to feel guilty about taking time off or working from home to look after my child. Aside from the many benefits of working for WP Engine, the people have to be the number one reason I love working for this company. Walking into the office and seeing my team is the reason I start each morning in a good mood. It is rare to find people who are driven, smart and unconditionally supportive of one another. Our leaders in Australia are incredible. Our leaders in the US & UK are incredible. No one is ever too busy to help you. If you're determined and willing to commit time to educating yourself and always giving it 100% then you will do amazing at WP Engine

Cons

It's tough work, you get out what you put in and some days can be rough but it's all worth it! Brisbane is still such a new office, we experience teething issues and are still trying to figure out what works best for us, but you will get this with any new company/ international office.

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.

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.

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.
