Great place to come build something

Pros

If you are looking for a company that can grow into something truly special come to WP Engine and help us build. This company does an amazing job of making customers happy and it has shown in the fast growth. Come help us do that at scale.

Cons

We are growing so fast that you might not be the right fit if you can't adapt quickly, because you need to be able to work without your job cleanly defined for you. Your job will probably take you off the job description daily. If you are comfortable with that, come join us.

Great Company

Pros

WP Engine is a great company to work for, especially if you like being able to effect significant change. The leadership team is receptive to ideas to make the company a better place, both technically and culturally. The projects are very interesting, and the scale is unlike most other places you'll work at in Austin.

Cons

It can be difficult to have a good work-life balance especially if you're the technical lead on a project. There is a significant amount of work that can be grabbed from the backlog, so it's very easy to stay busy and spend a bit too much time working.
