Thank you for taking the time to share your experience thus far at WP Engine. We're so glad to hear you find our virtual-first approach to work gives you the flexibility and balance you need to do your best work. We're also happy to hear you feel like people here at WP Engine care about lifting each other up and supporting their growth. 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. The reason we have focal talent and pay planning cycles is to support a consistent and equitable review process. This allows managers to evaluate everyone on the team at once from both an impact and contribution perspective and pay relative to market to remove bias from the process. If you ever have more feedback to share, positive or constructive, we'd encourage you to reach out to your EE Business Partner or anybody on the Employee Experience Team. We appreciate you sharing your feedback and we're glad to have you here at WP Engine!

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.
