Pros

Free and tasty food, downtown, can walk to Whole Foods. People are great and work very hard. Better companies aren't too far away.

Cons

There isn't a marketing or demand generation strategy. If there is one, it clearly isn't working. Unrealistic expectations across leadership. Board keeps hiring Sr. execs who haven't really done anything at all for WP Engine.

Pros

Benefits and a decent brand to put on a resume. The people are nice.

Cons

Support Management will treat you like a dog. Nothing you do will ever be good enough they will always demand more. All of support staff are overworked and management doesn’t care and will not do anything to make things better. You are not allowed to use the restroom. If you spend even 5 min not constantly accepting 3 chats you can expect to hear about it from your manager. Management knows that the job has a lot of burnout, they are significantly understaffed from people quitting constantly, and people are spread too thin. They simply do not care. You are less than human at this company. Managers constantly push efficiency and say we aren’t working hard enough as we have less and less people every day doing more and more work. As the work quota constantly increases for every employee, they are even stricter about cancelling breaks. You are regularly expected to wait hours for a break or to use the restroom. If you are in the restroom for more than 5 min you can expect to hear about it from a manager. You will be in multiple chats constantly every day, and if you need a break or a moment to take a breath or get a glass of water they just encourage you to keep working instead. You are treated like an animal and not a human while working in support

We’re very sorry to hear your experience at WP Engine has been so stressful. We care deeply about our support team and work to ensure everyone feels supported, but recognize there’s always room to improve and grow. If you are still with WP Engine, we highly encourage you to reach out to your leadership team or EE. We have a culture that includes an open door leadership philosophy and would love the opportunity to discuss your concerns.
