We're grateful that you took the time to share your feedback as it guides our growth and success. We're happy to hear you find our benefits and value the people you work with, we're proud of the culture our amazing employees have fostered and our Total Rewards Team puts in a lot of work to ensure we're offering industry leading benefits. In regards to no cost of living adjustments for salaries, WP Engine's compensation philosophy is to pay competitive to market based on cost of talent vs. cost of living. We utilize salary surveys to review our salary ranges on an annual basis and then conduct an annual salary planning review for merit-based increases. Thank you for your suggestion on the structure of our bonus plan, we'll make sure to pass your feedback along to our Total Rewards Team as well. We're sorry to hear you've had trouble finding the support you need from our Marketing Organization, we hope that recent changes will support increased bandwidth going forward. If you ever have more feedback to share, positive or constructive, we'd encourage you to reach out to your EE Business Partner or another person on our Employee Experience Team who would love to hear your thoughts. Have a great week!

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.
