Business Outlook

Pros

* Great culture * Moving more and more to ReactJS and more modern tech stack * Good UX team * Great benefits (25 days hols, medical & dental cover, 16 weeks paid maternity, 5 weeks paid paternity, Macbook Pro, good salary). * Heather the CEO is an inspiration. Not your typical CEO, she's like one of us. * Everyone is sound. * No office politics. * €500 when you join to put towards your home office.

Cons

* Some legacy tech still in place (coffeescript, jquery) but moving away slowly but surely.

WP Engine Response

Thanks so much for your feedback. You’re right that we continue to evolve our tech stack, and appreciate you acknowledging that. We also love to see that you appreciate so many aspects of our culture and of course, our amazing CEO (if we do say so ourselves)!
