We appreciate you taking the time to share your experience at WP Engine thus far. We're really glad to hear you've found your coworkers to be great to work with and management has been true to their word! In regards to pay, our compensation philosophy is to pay competitive to market based on cost of talent data, using high tech salaries surveys for benchmarking. We review our salary ranges on an annual basis and then conduct an annual salary planning review for market adjustment increases. Regarding promotions within Technical Support, we recognize that the slowing economy has created a situation where we've had to keep people in their current positions longer than we would normally prefer, however it is one of our goals as a company to ensure every employee feels like they are always learning, growing and have a plan for their future. We encourage you to work with your manager to ensure you have a development plan and brainstorm opportunities to take on new challenges while working in your current role, until a promotion opportunity can come available. If you feel comfortable doing so, we'd encourage you to reach out to your EE Business Partner so we can learn more about your concerns and work to address them. Thanks 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.

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.
