Pros

Great Benefits Work like balance for those not in leadership or account management Team members are awesome to work with

Cons

90% of the good leaders have left the org Recreating the wheel due to turnover Culture has taken a hit due to internal churn Take forever to get compensation adjustments Used to support growing into other departments- now theres only one path. Hard to trust leadership in the entry level role.

Hello and thank you for taking the time to share your experience and feedback. While we're glad to hear you've had such a positive experience with our benefits, work/life balance, and the people here are so wonderful to work with, we're really sorry to hear your concerns about our culture, growth and development, and retention here at WP Engine. While a certain amount of turnover is healthy and expected in any business, ours is below the industry standard. If you're comfortable doing so, we'd encourage you to reach out to your EEBP, our DEI Team, or anyone else on the EE Leadership Team to share more about your experience so we can work to address these concerns. Thank you so much again for taking the time to share, we hope to hear from you.

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. 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.

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.
