Not as great as it used to be - Anonymous employee WP Engine Employee Review

* Started hiring too many chiefs and not enough indians (to actually get the work done) * Splitting the company into business units just created more silos, while supporting departments were stuck in the middle; creating some positions that were duplicative of other roles and made it seem as if the BUs were the strategists and the functional areas supporting them were simply supposed to jump and do what the BUs came up with. * Let go two female execs and replaced with one male (that, frankly, many people are scared of) * Promotions are given to those that suck up and lie with numbers, who always have answers (or a presentation) that make themselves look good at the expense of others. No clear-cut path to promotions in many departments. * "Never say no" culture (and if you do, you're being difficult, and/or people go around you until they get what they want) * Becoming a place of toxic positivity, where employees bringing up issues are deemed too "passionate," too negative, or troublemakers.
