Avoid this company, senior leadership and reps are leaving in mass.

Pros

The amount of people leaving is a great indicator of what all the newer reps should be doing.

Cons

Nobody hits goal, so if you are expecting to hit OTE, forget about it. Moral is extremely low, and management seems to be very keen on adding more and more in office days. I was fully remote when first hired, but as time has progressed the company has added more and more mandatory office days. Just one example of how the goal posts are constantly moved, and if you bring anything up you will be gaslit. There is also clear favoritism at play with more tenured reps in a variety of ways. That, on top of managers and sales leaders who have been with the company for years leaving or being pushed out, creates an environment where most reps are struggling to keep their jobs or even make enough money to maintain their standard of living.

Thank you for taking the time to provide us feedback. As a result of our "Help Sales Win More' feedback sessions, we announced a quota alleviation initiative along with other internal opportunities to drive support and success specifically within our sales verticals. We take our culture and morale seriously and will continue to drive change in a positive direction. Our virtual-first model, introduced in 2021, gave employees the freedom to do their best work from wherever they are most productive. To support opportunities for collaboration, connection, and team-building, virtual-first was never designed to be virtual-only. Each function and role are different, and with this in mind, each function establishes their own guidelines on works best for their teams. The Sales team recently transitioned to a hybrid model to accommodate the changing dynamics of both remote work and in-person collaboration. These team members are now expected to work in the office on Tuesdays and Thursdays. This shift to hybrid may seem like a departure from our virtual-model, but the core principle remains the same: empower employees to do their best work by providing flexibility and ensuring a balance between remote work and valuable in-person interactions. We know you're no longer at WP Engine, but if you're comfortable doing so we'd encourage you to reach out to our Employee Experience Team so we can better understand your concerns and work to address them. Thank you again for your feedback and we wish you the best in future endeavors.

Great Place to work

Pros

- C level and Management are very transparent about changes and what is and is not working in the company. - Safe place to work for minorities (POC, Women, LGBTQ folks) and inclusive of people without degrees/higher education. - Genuinely feels like lower tier roles in the company are treated with equality and respect from higher tier roles in the company. - Fair entry level salary - Opportunities for growth - Lots of incentives/ good benefits

Cons

- Salary could be better overall - Lots of changes to adjust to constantly, since the company is undergoing a growth period. - While growth and role changes are accessible, they are not very seamless or transitional, so they can feel out of reach.

We appreciate you taking the time to leave such a thoughtful review! It's wonderful to hear you're having such a positive experience and feeling like it's been respectful and equitable no matter the position someone might have here at WP Engine. We place a lot of emphasis on our DEI efforts as well as having transparent leadership to ensure everyone feels a sense of belonging and purpose, so we're glad to hear that's being felt. In regards to pay, 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. We definitely want to ensure everyone feels like they have access to growth and development opportunities here, so we'd love to hear more about this. If you're comfortable doing so, we'd encourage you to reach out to your EE Business Partner or anybody on the Employee Experience Team so we can better understand this concern and work to address it. Thank you again for leaving a review and sharing your experience, we're so glad you're here with us!

No longer a growth company

Pros

Fun company culture. Committed, accessible and high energy woman CEO. Diversity and inclusion. Talented and dedicated team members.

Cons

Profits are prioritized over growth and employee well-being. Despite record profits, no bonuses were given in 2023. Stock valuation has been declining for years, making stock options unprofitable. Pay is below the market rate. Many incompetent executives. Most roles are moving out of US, significantly limiting growth for US team members. High attrition in the last few years.

We appreciate you taking the time to share about your experience when working at WP Engine. We're glad to hear you enjoyed our culture, DEI efforts, the people you worked with as well as our CEO, Heather. We're concerned to hear you felt like we were more focused on profit than the wellbeing of our people, we've made many investments in wellness over the last few years and certainly wouldn't want this to be the experience of anybody working at WP Engine. We're proud of our leaders and the work they put in every day to ensure we're continuing to grow and thrive together. In regards to pay, 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. We know you're no longer working at WP Engine, but if you have any more feedback to share we'd encourage you to reach out to our Employee Experience Team. We wish you the best in future endeavors.
